green3

Green3 is a named color used in several historic color naming schemes, notably the X11 color names used by the X Window System and by many graphic libraries and terminals. It refers to a medium-dark shade within the green family, sitting between the lighter greens such as green1 and green2 and the darker greens such as green4.

In practice, the exact RGB value of green3 varies by system. Many sources map green3 to RGB approximately 0, 205, 0 (hex #00CD00), but other palettes may differ slightly. Regardless, green3 is intended to be a darker, saturated green without strong yellow or blue bias.

Usage: Green3 appears in historical color sets, in some terminal color schemes, and in documentation that references the X11 color list. In modern web development, CSS does not define a standard named color green3; developers typically use explicit hex or rgb() values or pick from a general green palette such as #00CD00 or #008000.
