Hi Nurul. to clarify, we are seeking to find the colour that people connect to a positive association with Tasmanian landscape and wilderness only, not Tasmania in general. The colours above have been carefully chosen to reflect existing and potential future choices of colour that can/intend to achieve that aim, based on our research.

There has been some public debate about choosing a new color for Tasmania (green or otherwise), which we may look at too, but is quite separate to what this poll seeks to uncover.
Cheers
JP

I think none of them, it’s not easy to just settle with one color that could represent Tasmania. I think there should be a column that says ‘none of above’ and some space to type the color people think represent Tasmania. It can be one or more.

p568’s a bit too Forestry for me, agree with Josh p375’s to “Green”, p618’s a little muddy, so its the p389 for me. nice and fresh, like asparagus?

the deep green 568 is closest to lost in a forest but needs a little more guminit. 618 is tromping along button grass plains but a bit too slimey. 375 / 389 are too candyland.

Hmm… #375 really spells out “Green Branding” to me. Currently similar shades have been used throughout the solar industry, (I think its a PB petrol Co. colour?)

I think its being iver used particularly in greenwashing attempts by companies throughout the world…

#389 would have to be my choice, it represents more of the wilderness as it looks more natural.

As a non-Taswegian, I immediately think of dense forests which would be Pantone 568. But it feels a bit dark to be made a primary representative colour, so the 375 would feel a bit more like ‘fresh growth’
