Create big fat green arrow like in excel












1















For my masters thesis I'm using a specific questionnaire. The questionnaire provides an evaluation tool that provides some nice graphics in excel. I want to create the same look in Latex to keep everything consistent.



Green Arrow



I can not find a good way to include an arrow symbol that look similar to the one in the picture.



textcolor{OliveGreen}{$uparrow$}


Just does not cut it for me.



too small arrows



I already looked here https://www.rpi.edu/dept/arc/training/latex/LaTeX_symbols.pdf and scribbled in http://detexify.kirelabs.org/classify.html but found nothing suitable.
