Skobeloff

Plan Colors, Green, Azure, Blue

Skobeloff is a color that resembles teal to quite an extent, so if you come across a teal colored product next time, it might not actually be teal, but skobeloff instead. Skobeloff is a blend of green and blue in equal proportions (45.5 percent eact) with no red in the RGB color chart.

 

 

Viridian

Qutb Shahi Dynasty Flag, Green, Azure, Blue

Another color that is based on blue-green hue, viridian also has a tinge of red in it; it has 25.1 percent red, 42.7 percent blue, and 51 percent green.

If you’ve learned the Latin, you’ll realize that the color derives its name from the word “viridis”, which means “green” in Latin. Or, if you’ve seen the 1988 movie called Beetlejuice, you would know about this color from the scene where the characters mention it when they talk of remodeling Deetz’s house.

 

 

Mountbatten Pink

Lilac, Brown, Purple

While Mountbatten pink can be passed off as pink in technical terms, it does look more like a purple in the true sense. That is mainly because of the strong presence of red (60 percent) along with blue (55.3 percent) that is has, along with 47.8 percent green.

According to a book titled Great Personalities of the World, Lord Mountbatten used this color extensively to color the British Royal Navy ships during the World War II.

 

 

Feldgrau

Sky

If you are of the opinion that a combination of green-gray looks something that what you’d commonly see on a military uniform, you aren’t exactly wrong. During the World War I, feldgrau was used by the German military as the official color. Feldgrau has 30.2 percent red, 32.5 percent blue, and 36.5 percent green on the RGB color chart.

 

 

Phlox

Lilac, Purple, Azure

A hue of violet, phlox is actually devoid of color green, and only has red (87.5 percent) and blue (100 percent) on the RGB color chart. The name “phlox” is derived from the plant phlox, which has flowers of the same color, and is mostly found in the North America.
