icterine (IK-tur-een) - adj., yellowish, (orinth.) marked with yellow.


Or most commonly, judging by dictionaries, pertaining to or resembling the Icteridae family of passerine birds, also known as the icterine warblers. Wikipedia gives FCF75E as the hex value for the shade, even while being unable to define it more precisely than "yellowish or jaundice-yellow." From Ancient Greek ikteros, jaundice.
