Definitions
Pale green color often tinged with gray.
Word origin
Borrowed from the French céladon, from the character named Céladon, who wore pale green ribbons, in the novel L'Astrée by Honoré d'Urfé, from Latin Celadon, a warrior's name in Ovid's Metamorphoses, related to Ancient Greek κέλᾰδος (kélădos, “din, clamour”).
Used in a sentence

“[H]e stroked a soft blue cat with celadon eyes which had appeared from nowhere and now made itself comfortable in his lap […].”
