Yes I remember. Green and ocre they were, with yellow bellies!
I have my own little theory for that one. When you look at a blue sky for a long time, everything else tends to get yellow. Add yellow to two tones of grey (RLM 74/75) and you might actually see something that's green with ocre and a yellow belly.

Here's a nice related optical illusion: http://www.echalk.co.uk/amusements/O...erception.html (choose Colour Perception)
Notice how "RLM 74" goes all ocre on your eyes when surrounded by "sky"!
