(This pair seems to be the last one undecided...) Since we now have so many blues and so many purples, and since on the other hand the human eye is most sensitive to greens, I suppose 53B147 can be kept. The name: grass, fern, forest?.. Not mantis, save me... [[User:YLSS|YLSS]] ([[User talk:YLSS|talk]]) 14:01, 2 April 2013 (UTC) '''Or''' while no verts have been renamed yet... Maybe 53B147=green and 2DBE2C=leaf?

:I’m not so hot about "leaf". I think that we either go for more or less accepted color names (even unusual ones, like saffron) or, if we go for whimsical names, we should stick to their (necessarily narrow) use, by calculating the nearest neighbor to those listed in [[:en:Category:Shades of color templates]]. And "leaf", surprisingly, is not even a recognized color name, even among the many weird names listed at [[:en:Variations_of_green]].

:There is a green shade name, though, that’s suitable for a more or less wide range of light greens, and whose exact definition in the lists above is not too far from 2DBE2C — is [[:en:Variations_of_green#Emerald|Emerald]]. I suggest that instead of leaf, leaving 53B147=green. -- [[User:Tuvalkin|Tuválkin]] [[User talk:Tuvalkin|✉]] 17:06, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
