Origin:
The name "chartreuse" is derived from the place name Chartreuse, a mountain range in France. In the 11th century, a monastery was founded in the Chartreuse Mountains by Saint Bruno of Cologne. The monks of this monastery developed a recipe for a green liqueur, which they called "Chartreuse."
The liqueur became popular throughout Europe, and the color of the liqueur eventually became known as "chartreuse." The first recorded use of the term "chartreuse" to refer to a color was in 1827.
