κρόκινος - yellow or orange?

[edit]

This entry says "made from or of saffron" or "yellow"

But saffron generally isn't yellow. Saffron can be yellow or orange or even a deep reddish orange color.

Why do we define this word κρόκινος as "yellow"? Shouldn't we define this word as ambiguously referring to "yellow, or golden yellow, or orange, or reddish orange" ? Latvvot (talk) 06:59, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
