...the color green, practically, can be found here. If you never wanted to know anything about the color green, move along, please. Another post will be along shortly.
Before you go, though, watch this.
How many shades of green can you think of? Let’s see, there’s Kelly, hunter, forest, emerald, lime, chartreuse, celery, sage, seafoam, teal (or is that blue?),....
Oh, yeah, and pea and olive and....
And of course there's the blue green of snowbrush and also of service berry leaves
ReplyDeleteI'm green with envy at your astute perceptivity, Robert. x
ReplyDeleteKermittygreen. Not an easy color I'm told. Looking outside I see a million shades of green. Approximately.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Although I haven't read the whole Wikipedia publication. But I looked at the pictures. Feel very relaxed now ;-)
Don't forget British Racing Green! I'm afraid that there isn't such a shade as American Racing Green. Sorry about that old chap...
ReplyDeleteKermit!!!!!!!!! I've had a secret crush on Kermit forever. Don't tell Miss piggy. :P
ReplyDeletePuce, puke, pus.... sorry for the disgusting shades.... How about crayon, lemon-lime, pea, grass, watermelon green (that palest of pale green where the pink meets the rind), and Master's Golf Green
ReplyDeleteA much-belated thanks to all who commented. But Wine in Thyme, puke and pus, maybe, but puce? Puce??? Here's what Wikipedia says about puce:
ReplyDeletePuce (often misspelled as "puse","peuse" or "peuce") is a color that is defined as ranging from reddish-brown to purplish-brown, with the latter being the more widely-accepted definition found in reputable sources. Puce is a shade of red. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) dates the use of "puce" (in couleur puce) from 1787. The first recorded use of puce as a color name was in the 14th century, in the French language. In French, puce literally means "flea", and the usual coloration of a flea is dark reddish-brown or dark purplish-brown; specifically, it is the color of the belly of a flea. [emphasis mine]
It's amazing how much can be said for one color. Green is an important color, it's nature's color. I always wanted a job naming paint colors. Imaine sitting there and figuring out the name of every shade of green...
