I've always thought of "Bottle green" as being somewhere between your
"typical" green glass of the American colonial/ revolutionary period...
and what those nasty flies have on them. So of course I had to look and
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn says it is "dark to moderate or greyish
green"
The fly? There's a picture at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_bottle_fly I wonder if they were
thinking of the color, or the combination of green and brown's overall
look... or if it came from something else entirely.
