: Ja. Im folgenden Link ist die Farbpalette für ein T-shirt, darunter auch gritzegrün. "www.hoodlumz.de/tees.swf " Woanders gab's zwar ein gritzegrünes Wohnmobil mit einem total anderen Grünton, aber es steht meist für kräftiges Hellgrün,Grasgrün, etc

light green
it seems to me that gritzegrün actually should be grützegrün with reference to the German dessert Grüne Grütze made of typically green fruit like grapes, apples or similar - but in this case, in the end the colour you see is important ... :-)

: How about "green jello" or "jello green"? http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:qcuT8_IGFEUJ:www.recipez...

lizard green
Nur als kleine Alternative, weil's vielleicht mehr "shock value" hat als bright green.

I would like to add "Shocking green" as a result of the discussion between Dorothea and me that you can read below. Think I've even seen that in the fashion magazines I so like to read.

Actually, better probably to put "shocking shades of green".

: What if one likes lizards? There is no shock at all... ;-) @Kerstin: We're getting at it... That's almost as shocking as the term gritzegrün itself... ;-)
