I'm a bit confused by this article as it claims:

Koreans are familiar with the colors yeondu and chorok. An English speaker would call them both green (yeondu perhaps being a more yellowish green). But in Korean it’s not a matter of shade, they are both basic colors. There is no word for green that includes both yeondu and chorok.

Wouldn't that be chartreuse?



That's not a Korean word.
