Literary analysis:
A close reading of examples [1] and [2] reveals that, although the term “green” appears, neither passage employs it as a descriptor of color in the way one might expect from “army green.” In literature, when the hue is used deliberately—often to evoke the muted, earthy tone of military uniforms or rugged natural settings—it can convey a sense of discipline or steely determination. However, in these instances from Morgan's Escape from the Indians, “green” is embedded in the phrase “divides his army” rather than serving as a color adjective. Thus, while army green as a color might typically enrich a narrative with vibrant detail, these examples instead use similar wording to advance military imagery without drawing attention to a specific color characteristic [1][2].

This tab, the new OneLook "color thesaurus", is a work in progress. It draws from a data set of more than 2000 color names gathered from sources around the Web, and an analysis of how they are referenced in English texts. Some words, like "peach", function as both a color name and an object; when you do a search for words like these, you will see both of the above sections.
