Plarail Real Class 201 Series Commuter Train (JR West, Uguisu)

This word Uguisu comes up from time to time in the descriptions of Japanese commuter trains. It refers to a specific colour that in English would be somewhere on the olive green to greenish brown spectrum. You will sometimes see it translated as 'Warbler Green' since it is also the name of a greenish brown bird, the Japanese Bush Warbler or Japanese Nightingale, and by analogy is also used to describe a woman with a beautiful voice.  You will notice that on the Real Class box Tomy have helpfully translated it for us already.
