Malachite green is an organic compound that is used as a dyestuff and has emerged as a controversial agent in aquaculture.

Although called malachite green, the compound is not related to the mineral malachite — the name just comes from the similarity of color.

Famous quotes containing the word green:
“We worshipped,
we parted green from green,
we sought further thickets,
we dipped our ankles
through leaf-mould and earth,
and wood and wood-bank enchanted us.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
