Say....... Antique Green, or???

I've suggested "Liberty Green" before.  It's both very easy to remember, and
descriptive as well because it associates the colour with the set it first
appeared in.  (Here's hoping it will appear in other sets as well!)

(...) "Liberty Green" seems kinda US-centric to me. If this is the only set this color is used in, it won't matter, but if verdigris starts popping up in other themes, it would matter. Steve (24 years ago, 19-Oct-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
