People who are red-green color blind can often distinguish between the two colors but confuse them with other colors, for example, bright green with yellow; dark green with brown.
The term "green" does not define an exact color unless it is conjunction with some standard like X11 colors or an absolute color space like sRGB.
The word Green is common troughout the germanic languages: German grün, Scandinavian grøn/grön or grønn. The word is connected to the verb grow. The similarity becomes transparent in the English word grown (a leaf does not become "green" until it`s "grown").
Shades of green
Electric green (web color lime)
The color displayed at right, electric green is the brightest possible green that can be reproduced on a computer screen. This color is a close approximation of spectrum green, one of the three primary colors of light, along with red and blue.
Green takes up a large portion of the CIE chromaticity diagram because it is in the central area of human color perception.
Apparently it was called web color "Lime" because it is the color of Lime Jell-O.
When approximated (with less brightness) in pigments, this color is called bright green.
Kelly green (grass green, pigment green)
Kelly green, also known as grass green or pigment green, is the color green that is achieved by mixing pigment cyan and pigment yellow in equal proportions. This is the color green that is shown in the diagram located at the bottom of the following website offering tintbooks for CMYK printing: .
This color is also called grass green. Colored pencils of the 1950s colored this color were sometimes called grass green. Psychedelic art made people used to brighter colors of green, and pigment colors or colored pencils called "bright green" or "true green" are produced which approximate (with much less brightness that is possible on a computer screen) the electric green shown above.
Shamrock green (Irish green)
Shamrock green is the color of green used in the flag of Ireland, and therefore it is also called Irish green. It represents the color of Shamrocks in what is poetically called the "Emerald Isle" for its emerald-colored vegetation.
