Brave New Word

It’s brown.
No, it’s green.
Brown!
Green!
Are you blind? It’s brown!
No, damn you, it’s green!

Have you ever had this argument? Well, here’s a way to settle the issue and bring a little bit of peace to the world. Whenever you come across something that is brownish-green or greenish-brown, the word you should use to describe it is “breen.” It sounds like a pretend word, but it’s not. It’s in the dictionary.

So why are brown and green so special that they get their own combo word? The other colors are just as worthy and there are all sorts of ways to combine them. Imagine brellow clouds with orink edges in a purlue sky. Lovely.
