green color
Lime or emerald
Green color refers to the hue perceived when light in the 495–570 nanometer range reaches the eye—the color of grass, leaves, and emeralds.
The phrase is somewhat redundant since green already names the color, but it appears when distinguishing hue from other properties: The green color of the light indicates go.
In design contexts, it specifies the visual quality rather than symbolic meaning: We chose the green color for its calming effect.
