Citrine (colour)
Citrine is a colour, the most common reference for which is certain coloured varieties of quartz which are a medium deep shade of golden yellow. Citrine has been summarized at various times as yellow, greenish-yellow, brownish yellow or orange. The original reference point for the citrine colour was the citron fruit. The first recorded use of ''citrine'' as a colour in English was in 1386. It was borrowed from a medieval Latin and classical Latin word with the same meaning. In late medieval and early modern English the citrine colour-name was applied in a wider variety of contexts than it is today and could be "reddish or brownish yellow; or orange; or amber (distinguished from yellow)"."Citrine" in th''Middle English Dictionary''(late medieval English). In today's English citrine as a colour is mostly confined to the contexts of (1) gemstones, including quartz, and (2) some animal and plant names. E.g., the citrine wagtail (''Motacilla citreola''), an Asian bird species with g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
Citrine (quartz)
Citrine is a transparent, yellow variety of quartz. Its name is derived from the Latin word ''citrus'' (citron tree), by way of the French ''citrin'' or ''citron'' (lemon). Citrine is one of the most popular yellow gemstones. It is sometimes used as a modern, more affordable alternative to the traditional November birthstone, topaz. Not every yellow quartz is considered citrine, and there is disagreement as to when the name "citrine" is appropriately used. However, quartz stained by iron inclusions or coatings is generally not considered citrine. Natural citrine is rare; most commercially available citrine is produced by heating amethyst or smoky quartz. Natural citrine tends to have a pale yellow, often smoky color, while heat-treated amethyst is typically a deeper yellow, orange, red, or even brown ("burnt amethyst").

Citrine Warbler
The citrine warbler (''Myiothlypis luteoviridis'') is a species of bird in the family Parulidae. The term ''citrine'' refers to its yellowish colouration. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest Montane ecosystems are found on the slopes of mountains. The alpine climate in these regions strongly affects the ecosystem because temperatures lapse rate, fall as elevation increases, causing the ecosystem to stratify. This stratification is ...s. Behaviour Pairs of citrine warblers are known to forage in the lower levels and edges of forests. They often do this among mixed-species flocks.

Shades Of Yellow
Varieties of the color yellow may differ in hue, chroma (also called saturation, intensity, or colorfulness) or lightness (or value, tone, or brightness), or in two or three of these qualities. Variations in value are also called tints and shades, a tint being a yellow or other hue mixed with white, a shade being mixed with black. A large selection of these various colors is shown below. Web colors Yellow (RGB) (X11 yellow) (color wheel yellow) The color box at right shows the most intense yellow representable in 8-bit RGB color model; yellow is a ''secondary'' color in an additive RGB space. This color is also called color wheel yellow. It is at precisely 60 degrees on the HSV color wheel, also known as the RGB color wheel. Its complementary color is blue. Yellow (CMYK) (process yellow) (canary yellow) Process yellow (also called pigment yellow or printer's yellow), also known as canary yellow, is one of the three colors typically used as subtractive primary ...

Citrine Forktail
The citrine forktail (''Ischnura hastata'') is a damselfly of the family Coenagrionidae. Description This species is 20–27 mm in length, and its hindwing is 11–15 mm long; it is thus considerably smaller than most European members of the genus '' Ischnura''. Adult males have a black head and thorax, with blue markings, and a largely yellow abdomen, with black markings on its upper surface. The term citrine refers to its yellowish colouration. Adult females are initially largely orange, marked with black above on the head and rear part of the abdomen. They undergo a colour change, through brown or olive to greyish, as they mature. Male citrine forktails are the only damselflies in the world with the pterostigma situated away from the leading edge of the wing. Distribution It is native to North and South America, and there is a population on the Azores. The Azorean population is likely to have been present since the late 19th Century, it was not identified as th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |

Citrine Wagtail
The citrine wagtail (''Motacilla citreola'') is a small songbird in the family Motacillidae. Etymology The term ''citrine'', and the specific name ''citreola'', refers to its yellowish colouration. Taxonomy Its systematics, phylogeny and taxonomy are subject of considerable debate in the early 21st century. This is because this bird forms a cryptic species complex with the eastern (''M. tschutschensis '') and western yellow wagtail (''M. flava''). Which of the many taxa in this group should properly refer to which population is unlikely to be resolved in the immediate future. ''Motacilla'' is the Latin name for the pied wagtail; although actually a diminutive of ''motare'', " to move about", from medieval times it led to the misunderstanding of ''cilla'' as "tail". The specific ''citreola'' is Latin for "lemon yellow". Description It is a slender, 15.5–17 cm long bird, with the long, constantly wagging tail characteristic of the genus '' Motacilla''.

It is one of the Citrus taxonomy#Citrons, original citrus fruits from which all other citrus types developed through natural hybrid speciation or artificial Hybrid (biology), hybridization. Though citron cultivars take on a wide variety of physical forms, they are all closely related genetically. It is used in Asian and Mediterranean cuisine, traditional medicines, perfume, and religious rituals and offerings. Hybrids of citrons with other citrus are commercially more prominent, notably lemons and many Lime (fruit), limes. Etymology The fruit's name is derived from the Latin ''citrus'', which is also the origin of the genus name.
