Green, green, my pool is green. We lost our pool guy a few months ago and being not too handy at pool maintenance ourselves our pool has gradually turned a deeper shade of green. I checked out the 38 shades of green listed on wikipedia to determine a match and it was a bit overwhelming. I like some of names of the colors like asparagus. Cal Poly Pomona green, and dark moss green might be close.

I had to pick Cal Poly Pomona green because I live in California for gosh sakes. There’s even a Slytherin green, cool! Just added 2 packages of Shock this morning and did some quick research on pool care. I think we need to hire someone to take care of the pool again. It might cost us some money but I am yielding due to our lack pool cleaning capability.
Green Lacewing
Haven’t seen any of these lacewings lately. I will have to monitor my pyracantha when it starts to bloom again.

I hope all nine of those squares aren’t different shaded of green.
Nice job on the prompt. Good luck with the pool.

Damn. I see five, maybe six if I guess the way I do on those tests.

I asked Sassy, and she also sees six. The Mister initially saw eight, then tilted the monitor a bit and saw nine. Color blindness is very interesting to me.

Ha,ha. I did not mean to confuse everybody. 😀 There are 38 different colors of green but I did not give examples of all of them.

Oh no, I got that. There are nine, but not everyone can see them. I recently discovered my #3 kid has limited color vision and I find it intriguing.

Oh. I thought you and Dan were talking about all the colors. I did not realize that about not seeing all the color squares. My vision in one eye is decreased because of an inflammation I had in the past. The colors are definitely not as bright through that eye. I have heard of color blindness but did not associate it with my color chart. Sorry if I was insensitive.

I’ll have to try tilting the monitor.

I don’t think the squares represent all the colors of green. But the colors will change if you add more white or black to them. I would need to take up a lot of my blog to give examples of all 38. 😀

I only see six of these, so I don’t think creating more is necessary 🙁

Well I didn’t put the chart on my post to give people a test. Maybe my algae green pool would not look as bad to you as it does to me.

No my pool does not match all those shades. I would not mind some of the lighter ones as much though. Thanks, Dan. 🙂

Well that’s unfortunate. I sure hope you get someone out to get it resolved soon 🙂

Beautiful. I’m quite partial to green, especially moss. And lacewings remind me of fairies so I hope they don’t bother your pyracantha. Glad you are hiring someone for the pool, that’s a lot of work.

I did not realize there were so many greens. I do love colors and the all the creative names given to them. The lacewings can eat other pests, so that is good. I am realizing it is a lot of work to maintain the pool and we will need help. Thank you, Jo Anna. 🙂

Egad! After dark green, comes black–really fast, too. I’ve seen that happen in swimming pools in the tropics. Get a new pool guy quick!
