> color between yellow and green

In English this is often called chartreuse or pear. (Ignore the web/CSS color “chartreuse” which is hilariously terrible, like pretty much all of the named web colors.)

Although I know what both of these objects are, and think it seems like an accurate descriptor, I have honestly never once heard those used as colors (so I'd hesitate to say "often"). Wikipedia agrees on this usage though, so maybe it's just me who hasn't heard it...


Huh, I never knew "chartreuse" was anything _but_ a color. I agree with you about "pear", though.


A very unique liqueur, if you're into that sort of thing!
