No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Musturd
That earth tone green you see on hippy stuff from the 70s and on African stuff.
It's called "khlute". (From now on--I made it up.)
Slightly darkened yellowy brown.
Strange poo
Dark Yellow, brass, tkinter Gold4
It's brown-yellow so brellow
Orange, fite me…
Are you colourblind or a sub that likes getting belittled
Well, first: this is not just one color. There are 4 or 5 different color blocks mixed in the picture. Which makes it hard to pinpoint a name for a single shade. Second: if you know anything about color theory, it is quite obvious that it's any combination of red and green (or yellow and magenta). In color theory this combinations both can make anything from bright orange to yellow to grapefruit red. Or, if you greatly desaturate it or charge it towards black in hue, to brown. Everyone here is calling it some form of brown as well. And it might actually be browny (the color) by the overall range of values in the picture.
As we all know, brown is just orange with context. Thus, the only technically accurate name it could be given is orange.
Dark yellow
Jungle juice
Always called it “diarrhea green” growing up(it was popular to see in the 70s).
Mom would call it “baby poop” green.
I’d call it pea soup green.
Or puke green.
Depends on what the color was on and howl inoffensive I care to be.
Could also be a (darker) mustard yellow depending on the lighting
Lil Pickle
the color, not the rapper
It’s avocado-mustard
Olive yellow I'd say, or booger yellow.
Foulingras
Horrible.
Vomit green
Edit No wait! YELLOW
Pea green

Bile
Ha is this the Pantone colour of the year?
No, it's the colour of one book I own and it just struck me how I can't name or describe it.

Olive?
Blellow
Puce?
Pea soup
This is the color they made cigarette packages in Canada, and I believe Australia some years ago, supposedly because its a gross color. Didn't stop me, neither did Barb Tarbox
Caca d’oie (goose poop) It’s a true color name in French
upsetting
What kind of nerds do you claim to be in this thread?! Despite being late, I see no mention of the xkcd color survey: https://blog.xkcd.com/2010/05/03/color-survey-results/
As far as I can read just by eye, its "mustard" or "olive", but funnily it also seem close to the one someone annotated: "really? this color again? i have nothing against colors personally, but this one just stands out from the rest as unusually unattractive. i almost feel sad for it, but it made the decision to be that color so it has to find a way to deal with it."
But, someone, feel free to dig into the hex codes to give a more definite answer.
