Viric
From The Fifth City Wiki
"Behind your mirror, V names VIRIC, the colour of shallow sleep."[1]

A color of the Neathbow, viric is the green of shallow sleep. It's heavily associated with the Fingerkings[2] — Fingerking-possessed Clay Men's[3] (and the Somnolent Hyena's)[4] eyes burn with viric fire, and a box of dream-snakes will also glow viric.[5] The priests of Varchas use viric Mirror-Charms to ward off Fingerkings from their dreams.[6]
When viric light comes into contact with vegetation, it causes it to flourish and grow at an exponential rate.[7]
The word "viric" probably comes from the Latin viridis, meaning "green, blooming, vigorous," a word that also spawned the name of the similar color viridian.
