What kind of green is Light Grey Green?
Every color has a place in the standard vocabulary. This is Light Grey Green's, measured rather than asserted.
Light Grey Green's Munsell numbers: hue 8.5GY, value 8.5 (how light), chroma 5.1 (how vivid). That places it in ISCC-NBS block light yellowish green, one of 267 named ranges the standard sorts every color into. Chroma 5.1 is low. This is a greyed, muted green, nearer neutral than vivid, which is why it reads as a surface rather than an accent.
There's still some room before it hits the edge of what your screen can show for this hue. It could go a little more saturated and stay in gamut.
