About

The Chinese word 绿色 (lǜsè) for "green" is formed by combining the character 绿 (lǜ), which denotes the specific color green itself, with the character 色 (sè), which is a general term for "color" or "hue". This structure directly and logically compounds the specific color with the category it belongs to, resulting in a clear and literal meaning of "green color".
