    Seeing the title was weird: I never saw that color spelled in English before (I didn't know the English word for it in fact). In French, we call that color "Vert-de-Gris", which sounds the same...

    Seeing the title was weird: I never saw that color spelled in English before (I didn't know the English word for it in fact). In French, we call that color "Vert-de-Gris", which sounds the same but translates to "Grey's Green". So I looked up the etymology and it turns out it comes from "Greece's Green".

    Then I figured the article would have talked about that, and it does, so I'm just rambling at this point.
