The colour Chartreusse

[Capt Bob LeMay 0]

This whole color business is frustrating when you're trying to order materials in a specific color... The best outfit around that I ever dealt with is no longer around (Hobbes Feather Co). For a small cost (less than $20 if I remember correctly) they'd provide you a color catalogue of dyed samples, all on maribou puffs, of every color they worked with.... The materials I ordered (deertails, kiptails, feathers, etc. ) were always identical to the color sample I had in front of me when I worked up an order with them. If you ordered chartreuse, or fl. chartreuse, or lime green that's exactly what they provided. I wish other companies would do the same (if I'm going to be doing some wishing....). I know I'd sure be glad to pay for another color sample book that accurately reflected the color you'd be getting from them....

That would have been awesome Capt Bob! It'd be fantastic to know exactly what you're getting every time!!

Yep, it's yellow-green! The only way I know is because I wanted to use some chart. paint on a slider I was painting and didn't have any. I looked it up, and I think what I read said it's something like 8 parts yellow/1 part green or 9 parts yellow/1 part green.

I voted for green...it has a higher alcohol content and the yellow looks like urine.

This is a funny question and forced me to rethink how I would describe colors.

 

To me, it is a greenish yellow. So, I chose yellow green because I think of yellow first and then add green as a qualifier.

 

However,

 

it would be "green yellow" instead because in this case "green" would be an adjective of sorts.

 

Funny!
