It's PT [pressure treated lumber]. Sort of pale green. When I was building it, my SO said "why did you choose green?" Well, that's the colour it is I guess. Maybe I should have a talk with those pressure treated people and let them know that they should make designer colours.
I was reminded of some bookshelves that Ruth and I once had, made of lumber salvaged when my dad rebuilt his dock. It had the most wonderful gray but not just gray color. Unfortunately, when we moved to Japan we couldn't bring it with us. On our shoestring academic budgets, shipping a collection of weathered 2 x 10s across the Pacific wasn't on.
