THE STORY OF BEAUTY

Olive refers to a deep, yellow-toned green or a gentle, slightly grayish green, reminiscent of olive leaves and fruit before it fully ripens.

Behind this color lies the landscape of the Mediterranean and the olive tree, which has supported people's lives since ancient times.

Through food and oil, olive trees have long been part of everyday life, bringing people closer to the abundance offered by nature.

Olive branches have also been known as symbols of peace since ancient times.

In ancient Greece, wreaths made from olive branches and leaves were awarded to victors in athletic competitions, linking the olive tree with glory.

The olive tree is also known for its remarkable longevity.

Peace, abundance, glory, maturity.

And a beauty passed down through generations, transcending time.

Within this color born of nature, olive quietly embodies the diverse sensibilities of beauty that cultures around the world have cherished.
