otterintheflightdeck:萌黄色 (Moegi-iro) | #80B539 | “Bud Yellow”Also called 萌木色 (moegi-iro, “budding tree”). The color of budding young leaves in the springtime. The word moegi-iro has been used since the Heian period (794-1185) and is often associated with youth. In the Heian-period text Heike Monogatari, 17-year-old samurai Taira no Atsumori wore moegi-iro armor.Moegi-iro can also be written 萌葱色 (“budding scallion”), but this spelling usually refers to the dark blueish-green part of a scallion. There has been confusion since the Heian period as to the colors associated with each of the different spellings, but in most cases, 萌黄色 and 萌木色 are used for the yellowish green seen above, and 萌葱色 is used for dark blueish green.(Picture sources: 1, 2, 3 | More colors) -- source link
