The prior definition of android green was a yellow-green color #A4C639 (PMS 376C in print).[4][5] During the initial creation of the android logo, first released in November 5, 2007, #A4C639 was selected by the original designer of the android logo, Irina Blok, "...because it reminded (us of a) nostalgic code color, and it would stand out against dark background."[5] Code color probably refers to the color of text in Monochrome monitors, derived from the green "P1" phosphor.[6]
