Definition: Chartreuse
Chartreuse
A half green, half yellow color; it is precisely halfway between green and yellow, so it is 50% green and 50% yellow. It was named because of its resemblance to the green color of one of the French liqueurs called green chartreuse.
DKNY's Fall 2007 collection had an eye-catching satin chartreuse dress (left), which is fun for the holidays.
