Although the term “inchworm” is sometimes associated with a distinctive, muted green hue in other literary contexts, none of the examples provided use the word to denote a color. Rather, they employ “inchworm” in its literal sense—as a descriptor for the creature’s form, behavior, or size ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]). In these texts, the focus is on the physical characteristics of the inchworm, such as its looping movement or its measurement, rather than evoking any particular shade of green.
