Re:

No, that was more of a charteuse color...

Re:

[msfledermaus.livejournal.com]

well, blueish greenish...

This might explain why Mausi sees the color as bluish while I see light green. Thanks to wibbble responding to another person's post elsewhere...

You'll probably find different browsers on different platforms will render it in different ways, because it only works by the browser making a best guess at which HTML named-colour you're trying to tell it.
