Dark Mustard
post
I call it Captain Kirk's Shirt.

Baby-shit green.
Shitreuse
Too yellow to be olive green, too green to be proper mustard yellow.
Olive yellow or green mustard, your choice
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...
The United States Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) flirts with it.

Looks like theres a site you can use to get color names. It says its called Browny Green

I saw this color on a Jeep once. 🤮
In Catalan we'd call this “color de merda d'oca”. Goose shit colour.
We're quite a scatological people (see our Christmas traditions, for instance).
It's the lighter shade of depression brown the UK covered all tobacco products with.
Dehydrated bile green?
Tri Repetae.
That earth tone green you see on hippy stuff from the 70s and on African stuff.
Always called it “diarrhea green” growing up(it was popular to see in the 70s).

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.
FDE? Maybe Coyote Brown depending on saturation/contrast?
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
What kind of nerds do you claim to be in this thread?! Despite being late, I see no mention of the xkcd color survey: https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/

As far as I can read just by eye, its "mustard" or "olive", but funnily it also seem close to the one someone annotated: "really? this color again? i have nothing against colors personally, but this one just stands out from the rest as unusually unattractive. i almost feel sad for it, but it made the decision to be that color so it has to find a way to deal with it."
But, someone, feel free to dig into the hex codes to give a more definite answer.
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?)

Pea green
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
