A strangely biased article that only a graphicartist could write.
I've never seen "celadon" used as the name of a colour, only for the specific type of Chinese pottery that combines a specific taste (monochromatic, approximating the appearance of jade) and a specific technology (according to Wikipedia, "the celadon colour is classically produced by firing a glaze containing a little iron oxide at a high temperature in a reducing kiln", relatively simple compared to other pottery types).
Celadon glazes have such a vast range of colour that identifying a specific green as a standard is silly. And "mi se" Yao ware is only a very small subset of celadon production.
