What is the traditional Japanese color "iron color"?

Iron refers to a dull blue-green color like the surface of baked iron. It can also refer to the dull blue color of gosu used in pottery glazes. This color name came into widespread use because there was no suitable name to describe the deep greenish blue dyed with indigo dye. It was particularly popular from the mid-Meiji period to the Taisho period, and was a popular color for the aprons worn by storekeepers and clerks.

Iron color = Tetsuiro

Color names with "iron" in them include Tetsuonando, Tetsukon, Tetsunezu, and Tetsufukagawa, all of which are dull shades of blue-green. "Iron color" is pronounced "tetsuiro."
