Chartreuse: a color halfway between yellow and green that was named because of its resemblance to the green color of one of the French liqueurs called green chartreuse, introduced in 1764. 

As I was working on last week's hue hoo my husband lovingly asked (dared) me to do chartreuse this week - all of this stemming from his fond memory that our niece's favorite color when she was three was "chartweuse."  After taking on the challenge I have come to the conclusion that chartreuse is a much better accessory or pop of color to an outfit rather than the main event.  The bold color can be quite overpowering and gaudy if not controlled.
