What the hell is "chartreuse"?
Someone please explain? Apparently, it's not red...?
What ever happened to REAL colors, like Red, Green, and Blue????????

Nope, apparently it is some color. See, this is the kind of thing that pisses me off. Guys are like Windows, 16 default colors. Peach, for example, is NOT a color. Pumpkin, likewise, is not a color. Sea Salt Green? WTF?
A bunch of crap, that's what this is. Chartreuse. Bah... (Although, I could go for a glass of wine now...) Quote:

I always tell my wife that the only two-syllable colors I know are yellow and purple.

It's pretty much a lime or yellowish green.

It's like an electric lime-green. (Best description I can manage). It was immortalised in Tom Woolfe's awesome book about the crazy SoCal custom car culture of the 1960s, "The candy-colored tangerine flake streamlined baby"...

The 1974 Carrera on the cover of Car & Driver when Mark Donahue tested the '74 911s was Chartreuse w/ Carrera stripes. Factory color.

For a minute I was thinking about Ken Kesey and some other 60's Cal culture.

Tipsy?
Frustrated with customers. Nowhere in our literature is the word "chartreuse" mentioned; we explicitly call it "green." Oh well... Quote:
