Definitions & examples
Sometimes tied to nature, wellness, or sustainability — people use 💚 to show eco-friendly vibes or mindfulness (“Plant day success 💚🌿”). It can also mean loyal friendship or steady affection.
In Japanese chats, 💚 can express refreshing or yasashii (gentle) feelings — the calm kind of affection rather than fiery love (“落ち着く💚” You make me feel at ease 💚).
In Korean fandom culture, it’s often linked to idol colors — fans use 💚 to represent their bias’s theme color, like NCT or GOT7.
💚 may occasionally be interpreted as “jealous love” in Western contexts (thanks to the phrase “green with envy”), so use context clues if your tone is meant to be purely supportive.

Differences between 💚 (green heart) and 🩵 (light blue heart)
More on light blue heart
Both 💚 and 🩵 convey caring and calm affection without overt romance, often used in platonic contexts to signal support, peace, and emotional steadiness; they share a soft, soothing tone that makes them suitable for messages of comfort, solidarity, or non-romantic appreciation. The differences lie in nuance and situational flavor: 💚 leans toward supportive healing, balance, and a grounded, reassuring presence—it feels steady and holistic, good for recovery, environmental or wellness contexts, and showing empathetic solidarity—whereas 🩵 reads as a lighter, more intimate-friendly loyalty and gentle companionship, ideal for signaling dependable warmth among close friends, consistent emotional availability, or a tender but nonromantic “I’m here for you” vibe. Use 💚 when you want to emphasize calm support, restoration, or balanced care; choose 🩵 when you want to express warm, loyal friendship and soft, steady companionship.
Usage
Use 💚 for supportive, healing, or balanced messages that emphasize restoration, calm, or platonic care. Use 🩵 for gentle, loyal, friendly notes that communicate dependable companionship and soft emotional availability.
