The naming of the SeaGreen colors has always seemed reversed to me:
Table[Graphics[{ColorData["HTML", a], Rectangle[], Black,
Text[a, {1, 1}/2]},
ImageSize -> Tiny], {a, {"SeaGreen", "MediumSeaGreen",
"DarkSeaGreen"}}]
Wouldn't most people say that SeaGreen was darker than DarkSeaGreen?
Unfortunately we can't lay this at the door of WRI because it seems to be a
standard in the digital world. If I compare the Mathematica colors to the
definitions given in my HTML guide they are the same.
{ColorData["HTML"]["SeaGreen"], ColorData["HTML"]["MediumSeaGreen"],
ColorData["HTML"]["DarkSeaGreen"]}
{{46, 139, 87}/255., {60, 179, 113}/255., {143, 188, 143}/255.}
