I noticed that. Is forest green such an unfamiliar color? I put extra
spaces between the colors (and just one inside each multi-word one) to
those the intent.

But yes, that's similar to the kind of error to I've made. I have a
collection of single word items, then I accidentally add a multi-word one
without thinking about the logic.
