greenish-yellow
Unripe lemon shade
A color between green and yellow on the spectrum, leaning toward yellow but with noticeable green undertones: The greenish-yellow of early spring leaves, a greenish-yellow discharge that indicated infection.
Like most compound color terms, the second element dominates—this is a yellow with green in it, not the reverse.
