Xenobotanist is a slightly blackened green, full of different microshimmers that catch the light in different ways. Sometimes it has a distinctly violet sparkle, but sometimes red or gold, depending on how the light hits it.

Inspiration: Keiko O'Brien from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: probably one of the most underrated and unfairly villainized female characters in the history of science fiction.
