綠縹（力斸反說文云帛青黃色也古文作緜從糸彔聲下漂褾反說文云帛作青白色也綠縹二色同次於大青二竝左形右聲字斸音冢綠反）。

Green and light blue (綠縹: the first is pronounced with the fanqie 力斸 [lù]. The Shuowen says: "Silk of a bluish-yellow colour." In ancient script it is written as 緜; it derives from silk [糸] with 彔 as phonetic. The second is pronounced with the fanqie 漂褾 [piǎo]. The Shuowen says: "Silk of a bluish-white colour." The two colours green and light blue both rank next to deep blue. Both characters have the semantic element on the left and phonetic on the right. 斸 is pronounced with the fanqie 冢綠 [zhù]).
