Hence the name we now all now it by: "Apple Green" - so much more 'user friendly'.
But I think the image of the initial description still fits the color.

Luckily both my taste and my opinions (as my wife is fond of saying) "Ain't worth shit ! " So by all means - if you like it - wear it proudly !
Anybody knows that has raised a baby and changed it's nappies, the substance left is not baby shit green, but more as baby shit brown. Anyone that has been late in changing a nappy, cleaning it off the walls next to the crib does not match Apple Green wallpaper either!!! Personal experience....and no bullshit!!!
