[ Maerz and Paul "A Dictionary of Color" New York:1930 McGraw-Hill Page 205; Color Sample of Spring Green: Page 59 Plate 18 Color Sample J7 (Note: Before the invention of the web color "spring green" in the 1990s, Spring Green was thought of as a light green tinted toward the yellow that is shown in the color box above labeled "light spring green" and in the color sample labeled "spring green" in Maerz and Paul, instead of the pure spectrum web color spring green halfway between green and cyan that is now regarded as the color spring green.) ]
