Ethyl Green (C.I. 42590; C27H35BrClN3) is a water-soluble triarylmethane dye. [1] [2] [3]

It is derived from crystal violet by adding a N-ethyl group; crystal violet is therefore a possible contaminant. [3] Changing the N-ethyl group to N-methyl yields methyl green. All three dyes are used as histological stains. [1] [3]
