  Funny to me that how... #00FF00 is Lime... what we actually refer as Green in daily life is close to #008000

And that "limegreen" (#32CD32) is a third, distinct color name.

That doesn't sound SO absurd to me when I think about it. Limes do go through a fair range of colour space, after all. Maybe there should be a limeyellow?
