When looking at images of the Incredible Hulk, I see a variety of greens. I’ve seen neon greens to dark (but not black green) greens. Is there a standard somewhere that I don’t know about? I don’t read the comics and its been a while since I’ve seen the movies or the TV show. Maybe “what color green do you think of when you think of the Incredible Hulk” would be a better question. ---
