Displayed at right is the color Charleston green.

The color Charleston green originated after the American Civil War, when the North provided black paint to the South for use in its reconstruction. Charlestonians mixed the black with a little bit of yellow and created Charleston green.

The (paint manufacturer) Duron/Sherwin Williams color number for "historic charleston green" is DCR099--the color sample at right was taken from this color swatch, which is on the website accessible below called Colors of Historic Charleston on the "see also" list.. This is the color that is black unless the sun hits it just right, and then the color registers a deep, forest green. From Rustoleum it is 214086 but still looks black on color cards.
