  • Citrine /ˈsɪtriːn/ 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)". 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 golden-yellow plumage, or the citrine warbler, citrine canary-flycatcher, citrine forktail, etc. * Citrine wagtail * The citron fruit is historically the source-word for the citrine colour name, beginning in Latin * Citrine warbler * Citrine forktail (en)
  • Il giallo citrino è una gradazione di giallo. Il termine "citrino" deriva dal latino citrus (in greco κίτρινος), nome che indica gli alberi di cedro (Citrus medica) dai frutti giallognoli. Il colore si ritrova anche come riferimento per un tipo di cristallo di quarzo, il quarzo citrino, che assume la tipica tonalità giallo-brunastro per via di impurezze di ferro trivalente. Per tingere i tessuti di questa tonalità nel XIX secolo era previsto l'uso di Serratula tinctoria o allume. In medicina, è il colore dell'urina concentrata e del versamento pleurico. (it)
