I see these types of questions as the sign of an inexperienced interviewer. Yup - that's all it is. And you're going to have a certain envelope of negatives (usually far worse than this) in any environment. So while it does make the flag a bit bless verdant... to call it a "red flag" seems to be a bit of a stretch.

Props to both of you for the lovely synonyms for "greenish" :-) (And as for the substance: agreed, and a capable interviewee should know how to work around those questions and similarly silly ones, like "what's your greatest weakness?". It's a two-way street. And while it's not a positive datapoint, it's hardly a KO-criterion. (viridescent? aquamarine? turquoise? :) )
