In my terminals I use #7fff7f for green and #daa520 (X11 color "goldenrod") for amber. The matches, to me, are pretty close (my brain's reference for the green is a TRS-80 Model 16 with the brightness up).

- ginsider_oaks 4y agoit sounds like the danish word for carrot: "gulerod" which translates to "yellow root".
