Fun with a fully-parsed wordnet:
PQ(136): (color-p "chartreuse")
T
PQ(137): (color-p "charter")
NIL
Achieved by following only the hypernym chain from any given word to see
if it reaches "color".
Sadly does not seem to work with fragrances and probably most others. :(
But of course we always have the histogram of other values provided for
the same tag, probably a better guide in the end, esp. as volume increases.

The dictionary meaning of "chartreuse" (as opposed to "Chartreuse")
is a color (and not a fragrance), so shouldn't that be expected?
(See e.g. http://mw1.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chartreuse; the
American Heritage Dictionary explicitly tags the entry with
"Color".)

The truly good code is the obviously correct code.

Tease.
Do you have code to give us, or are you hogging this earth-shattering
functionality all for yourself?
