gozelinge

gozelinge - n. pale yellow-green.


Only appears in Elizabethan color lists, and Google has exactly two hits -- one of them explaining that there were no solid green pre-Industrial dyes, thus names for shades such as this. Add salt as necessary.

I still like the sound of it, though.

I'm still puzzled by that gosling, though. The off-yellow color of their down?
