So, apparently, there are a bunch of people who come to my website looking for laurel green, the actual shade of green, and not Laurel Green, the person who is me. I guess that’s what I get for being named after a paint swatch.
A lot of people think that the shade of green that I use in my icon is laurel green, but it’s just a shade that I chose randomly because I liked it.
Hey, let’s learn some stuff about different shades of green, why not?
