This really is a ridiculous display of naivety : the
creation of class names requires a reasonable degree
of inventiveness if they are to be inherently meaningful --
just because you can think of only "green" and "special"
as being appropriate says nothing about HTML (the topic
of the list) or even about CSS (which is actually what
is being discussed) but says a lot about your own
linguistic limitations ...
