HelpRe: Chartreuse and other color names
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
I kind of like Saffron though it registers more as a food name than a color name. Like Scarlet too, and Bianca/Blanca if it counts.
Isn’t chartreuse also a liquor? That kind of bother me.

I mean my grandmother and her sisters are all named after alcohol except for one. But perhaps people had different / less stigmatized social perceptions of that back then.
