Thank you. :3
Well, to be honest, I see this a lot in attempts to simulate a classic Game Boy palette. I used to stare at that old Game Boy screen for hours at end when I was a preteen in the early 1990s. Specifically, the original palette was never a simple gradient of greens. It was more teal and relatively less saturated at the dark end, and more yellow and relatively more saturated at the light end, with some rich greens for the intermediate shades. For this submission I'm linking here, I wrote an algorithm to calculate a far more accurate approximation of Game Boy palette colors as they appeared a quarter of a century ago.
