Also classified as "dark yellowish-green" in the JIS standard. Considered one of the oldest color names in Japan. In Japanese, many words for the human body correspond to plants — "芽" (sprout) and "目" (eye), "花" (flower) and "鼻" (nose), "葉" (leaf) and "歯" (tooth), with limbs described as "枝" (branches). This keen observation of nature is why so many Japanese color names are rooted in the plant world.
