Brace yourself -- it's not greenish.
In the registration, Plough used the HCC system and included reference
numbers. The standards are lemon yellow (4/1), which corresponds to RHS 13B.
The old RHS name chart also calls it lemon yellow, but if you're talking
about old-fashioned homemade butter rather than today's store-bought stuff,
I'd say that "deep butter yellow" is a pretty good subjective description.
The falls' "lemon yellow (4)" corresponds to RHS 13A -- same color but
slightly deeper in tone. The beard's "Indian yellow (6) corresponds to RHS
16B -- which means it is just slightly oranger than the falls.
