I feel like my meaning this whole time was misinterpreted. The reason I think Fox works as a color name is because, while yes, foxes do come in a variety of fur colors, every single breed of Fox is still called a so-and-so Fox. Red Fox, Arctic Fox, Gray Fox, Corsac Fox, they're all called foxes. Lizards, however, come in SO many more breeds. 'Lizard' is a HUGE blanket term for a large number of similar reptilian species. Salamanders, geckos, iguanas, etc etc etc, all.Of which have their own color schemes. It's just too vague, I think.

Now, Kirito, you ARE correct in that lizards are often stereotypically portrayed as green. It's not a correct portrayal, at least not for the most part. However, you could still use it feasibly, if you wanted to. Not what I'd recommend, but as Vedran says, more of a suggestion.

I would recommend finding a specific species of lizard to base this character off of. While most mammals have few enough breeds to be considered fair game, reptiles (lizards in particular) don't have the same luxury.
