Note also that, the world being a diverse place, the Sinosphere is not the only place where languages often muddle the distinction between {{color|green|green}} and {{color|blue|blue}}. This has also been observed in the modern Celtic languages ([[Useful Notes/Ireland|Irish]], [[Useful Notes/Land of My Fathers and Their Sheep|Welsh]], etc.), where there is not only some muddling between {{color|green|green}} and {{color|blue|blue}}, but also between {{color|green|green}} and ''{{color|gray|gray}}''. Similarly, older [[Useful Notes/Italy|Italians]] lump {{color|orange|orange}} in with {{color|red|red}}. Before about 1500, orange ''in English'' was lumped in with yellow and gold.
Not to be confused with the (rather confusing) [[Dub Name Change|Dub Name Changes]] for the characters named Green and Blue in various ''[[
Read Guy Deutscher’s ''Through the Language Glass'' for an in-depth explanation of this trope and its equivalents in other countries.

== Anime & Manga ==
* In ''[[
* In ''[[Tokkei Winspector]]'', the heroes are meant to reflect the traffic lights. With that said, Walter was {{color|blue|bluish}} than {{color|green|greenish}}.
* Yuno's drunken rant in ''[[Hidamari Sketch]]'', currently [[Non-Indicative Name]]'s page quote, is also about {{color|green|green}} traffic lights.
Line 49:
== Video Games ==
* In the early days of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', the color of Luigi's clothes was inconsistently portrayed as {{color|blue|blue}} or {{color|blue|blue}}. It took a little while before the vivid {{color|green|green}} color became firmly established.
* In ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 3'', Big Boss' eyes are described as {{color|green|green}} in dialogue, but they appear {{color|blue|blue}}. Snake's eyes were also dark {{color|green|green}} in ''Metal Gear Solid 2'', but described in his bio in ''[[Metal Gear Solid]] 4'' as {{color|blue|blue}} and appear clearly {{color|green|green}} in that game.
* Fox McCloud from ''[[Star Fox (
* Several [[Pokémon]] are listed as "{{color|teal|Bronzor}}" in the Pokedex, when most Westerners would consider them {{color|teal|Bronzong}}: specifically, {{color|teal|Golett}}, {{color|teal|Golurk}}, {{color|green|green}}, and {{color|orange|orange}} are all listed as "{{color|red|red}}".
** There are several {{color|brown|brown}} pokemon as well. But the pokedex ends up listing them as either {{color|green|green}} or {{color|blue|blue}}.
Line 58:
== Miscellaneous ==
* [[Harry Potter (
* Amy Lee of [[Evanescence]] did an interview on Tokyo FM, and was complimented on her {{color|green|green}} eyes. This is where it gets complicated. It's been said that she has {{color|green|green}} eyes naturally, and wore {{color|blue|blue}} contacts around the time of the first album. This interview was near the time of the second album, but in her childhood photos she had {{color|blue|blue}} eyes. It gets really complicated, because in the Japanese translation, the DJ used the English loanword {{color|green|グリーン}}, or {{color|green|green}}.
