This dial seems to need the power of the sun to cajole her into showing her beauty.🌞

In the case of AP, khaki green is certainly interesting. Perhaps it was based on this dial’s chameleon-like character.πŸ€” Nevertheless, thanks for your comment.πŸ™πŸ½

I find the chrono often goes grey, and the green you show is only revealed in sunlight. AP has a magnificent ability to a do a dial color in their own way.

One approach is see what color all the other houses are doing for green and make a different hue of green to stand out. The other idea is to make a similar hue of green to the other houses , which seems to be trending right now. Enjoy your day!

So yes, precisely as you say regarding the light conditions. This coloring won’t come out without sunlight or boutique-level lighting. Without that it is essentially grey.
