4 Sarcoline

5 Glaucous
Glaucous was first used as a color name in 1671, but it's more than a hue. It describes the powdery—and perfectly harmless—blue-green gray or blue-green coating on grapes and plums.

11 amaranth
Rose-red amaranth isn't just a plant. It's a color, too. The word amaranthine—with definitions including related to the amaranth, eternally beautiful, and everlasting—is also a pigment, but it's darker than amaranth. Not to mention that
amaranths are actually short-lived perennials. Confused yet?
