Chartreuse?

Color wheel - which is chartreuse?The color chartreuse is broadly remembered as a shade of red. Some recall it as a maroon-ish red. Others describe it as a reddish magenta.

The fact is, in this timestream, the color is yellow-green. The color gets its name from the liqueur, Chartreuse.

However, I clearly recall a discussion with my mother, an artist, about the color chartreuse. I was a teen and used "chartreuse" to describe a magenta-ish dress. My mother couldn't believe I was serious, and I remember looking in my childhood crayon box for a reddish crayon labeled "chartreuse," but couldn't find it.

It was a humiliating moment for me, because she was right and — in our household — that was like confusing Miro and Michelangelo. It just wasn't done.

I didn't think about it again until a comment about chartreuse appeared at this site. Then another did, and yet another. No matter how long I study this topic, I'm still astonished when a memory matches one of mine.
