Mary Shelley's creature is not described as green.
Khaki reflects his yellow skin, Ivory his pearly teeth and pale eye sockets, and Black his flowing hair and straight lips.
Dark Olive Green and Dark Slate Gray belong to the later screen image: gray-green makeup was chosen to look corpse-pale in the 1931 black-and-white film.
Silver completes the familiar bolt-neck silhouette created for cinema.
