Mustard yellow?
Looks like theres a site you can use to get color names. It says its called Browny Green
colors.artyclick.com/…/browny-green-color
Lol cmon did mitch hedberg name that?
Taupe
I’m surprised how far down I had to scroll to find this as an answer!
Orange, fite me…
Are you colourblind or a sub that likes getting belittled
Well, first: this is not just one color. There are 4 or 5 different color blocks mixed in the picture. Which makes it hard to pinpoint a name for a single shade. Second: if you know anything about color theory, it is quite obvious that it’s any combination of red and green (or yellow and magenta). In color theory this combinations both can make anything from bright orange to yellow to grapefruit red. Or, if you greatly desaturate it or charge it towards black in hue, to brown. Everyone here is calling it some form of brown as well. And it might actually be browny (the color) by the overall range of values in the picture.
As we all know, brown is just orange with context. Thus, the only technically accurate name it could be given is orange.
Garbage
Pukey jade
Mouse’s breath
Lol, is that an actual colour? I’m googling and the results are “mouse’s back”, although that one’s too gray IMO…
Farrow and Ball are renowned for having bullshit pijo names for their paints, I just mixed elephants breath and mouse’s back
What is an “actual” color?
Chartreuse
Dark yellow
That’s not a color. That’s at least three different colours.
Dark Mustard
This one seems to be the closest, unironically. Now my curiosity is satisfied and my soul at peace.
Mustard IN the dark
Pale brown with a green tint.
Ochre.
Yup, maybe a dash muddier but the scenic tints basically look like that.
I would say no, ochre would have more of a red or orange-y tint.
Yellow ochre gives a similar result, but is missing the blue tones that make slightly green
Puce?
Regurgitated olive.
That earth tone green you see on hippy stuff from the 70s and on African stuff.
Shit yellow
Baby puke.
Drank Too Much Wine green
Chip Shop Curry
Mustard, you fuck
Olive?
Ha is this the Pantone colour of the year?
No, it’s the colour of one book I own and it just struck me how I can’t name or describe it.
Also now you made me go check… apparently this is Pantone’s colour of the year 2025:

and this one is for 2026 (how can you select the colour of the year in advance tho?)

I never get that either, but I think it’s a way to control next year’s fashion.
Always called it “diarrhea green” growing up(it was popular to see in the 70s).
It’s brown-yellow so brellow
Musturd
This is the color they made cigarette packages in Canada, and I believe Australia some years ago, supposedly because its a gross color. Didn’t stop me, neither did Barb Tarbox
Shitreuse
Or shartreuse
Mom would call it “baby poop” green.
I’d call it pea soup green.
Or puke green.
Depends on what the color was on and howl inoffensive I care to be.
Could also be a (darker) mustard yellow depending on the lighting
Too yellow to be olive green, too green to be proper mustard yellow.
Olive yellow or green mustard, your choice
Jungle juice
shart
Slightly darkened yellowy brown.
It’s called “khlute”. (From now on–I made it up.)
Lil Pickle
the color, not the rapper
FDE? Maybe Coyote Brown depending on saturation/contrast?
Coyote Brown seems closer
Edit: the pic I posted has a more greenish tone, I think, but it’s a photo of a book that I have physically and Coyote Brown lines up with the physical version better
Dark yellow
Splunge.
Baby poo brown
I could see calling that leaf green or olive
Baby-shit green.
Scrolled way too far to see this
Didn’t scroll far enough for the truth.
Gushing Granny
Disgusting
I call it Captain Kirk’s Shirt.

I saw this color on a Jeep once. 🤮
Before or after the “🤮”?
Prob both …
It’s the lighter shade of depression brown the UK covered all tobacco products with.
Dehydrated bile green?
The United States Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) flirts with it.
