Reminds me of Go Away Green - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Away_Green


The thin strip of yellow/black caution stripes on an otherwise unnoticable green conduit was so ironic it made me smile: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Away_Green#/media/File:The_...

It's saying "DON'T NOTICE THIS! (also, please notice this!)"


A gas station near me painted their bollards this color. I've wondered if this would be a credible legal defense for someone that accidentally backed into them.


Go Away reads to me as a command to the viewer to go away rather than the intended "we want the object to go away from the viewer's thoughts". If they were okay with a phrase like Go Away Green, why not something like Hidden View Green, Irrelevant Green, Don't Look Here Green, etc. Some PR department would have a field day


Prob because Go Away Green sounds way cooler than all of those and it’s not a user facing term anyways.


And alliteration for extra cool.


"Move Along Green"
