    Too yellow to be olive green, too green to be proper mustard yellow.

    Olive yellow or green mustard, your choice

    Lol, is that an actual colour? I'm googling and the results are "mouse's back", although that one's too gray IMO...

    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).

    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.

    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.

    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
