Well, sort of. Blue has a particular cultural significance in Japan, and Japanese traffic lights are a very bluish-green color which the Japanese government refused to change, but officially declared to be "green" in order to comply with international law. Most people wouldn't really call it blue either, but it's closer to most people's idea of blue than to green. The color is widely and somewhat sardonically known as 'bleen' or 'grue'. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958
