Citrine (pronounced /ˈsɪtriːn/) is a colour, derived from
coloured varieties of quartz,
and variously described as yellow, greenish-yellow, brownish yellow or orange. Actually, as can be ascertained
by inspecting its h value, citrine is a medium dark shade
of golden yellow.
The confusion about the nature of the colour is caused by the fact
that shades of dark yellow (such as olive) tend to appear
greenish.
The first recorded use of citrine as a colour name in
English
was in the year 1386. [2]
