The color 'La Salle Green' is deeply rooted in the history of the De La Salle Brothers, a Catholic religious congregation founded by Saint John Baptist de La Salle.

De La Salle College (now De La Salle University) in Manila, established in 1911, adopted green as one of its primary colors. The specific shade, often represented by hex code #087830, has since become a recognizable symbol for numerous La Salle schools and organizations worldwide, signifying growth, hope, and the educational mission of the Brothers.
