Erin is a color that is halfway between green and spring green on the color wheel.

It is named after Erin, a poetic name for Ireland.

[2] One of the earliest known uses of the word "erin" to describe a color appears in the poetry of Jane Johnston Schoolcraft (1800–1842).

In a poem titled To the Pine Trees, Schoolcraft reflects on her arrival back to North America after spending years in England she writes "Not all the trees of England bright, / Not Erin's lawns of green and light / are half so sweet to memory's eye, / As this dear type of northern sky.
