12	->''"This is 'sickness green'. My whole life, I've seen cartoon characters, comics, emojis... they all turn this exact same shade of green when bad things are about to happen."''
13	-->-- '''[=TheJWittz=]''', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoVY_w1pnUA "Top 10 WORST Shiny Pokemon"]]

15	Nausea isn't always easy to detect in another person in real life. Sometimes you can tell by how pale they look, but they might be pale for another reason (natural coloring, lack of sunlight, makeup, other unrelated sickness).
16
17	In cartoons, however, you can tell right away as the character's face turns green. This is usually followed by vomiting, [[VomitDiscretionShot either offscreen]] or [[VomitIndiscretionShot on]]. Expect this to happen if a character has just been through a wild or fast ride (typically a roller coaster), eats or smells something gross, or thinks about something unappealing (sexual or otherwise). Motion sickness can also result in this, especially seasickness. Expect a long groan and maybe a CirclingBirdies motif to accompany this trope.
18
19	This is [[TruthInTelevision somewhat based in reality]], as some people's skin does turn a fairly greenish hue when they're nauseated.
20
21	May happen as a result of UniversalPoison or IAteWhat Sometimes PlayedForLaughs when the character is [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation supposed to be green anyway]]. If the character has fur it may overlap with ThroughAFaceFullOfFur.
22
23	Not to be confused with SicklyGreenGlow, although they may be related. Compare SicknessEqualsRedness and DrunkenGlow.
24
25	See also GreenIsGross for when green is used for gross things.
