Midori no Kurokami
A woman's beautiful, lustrous black hair can sometimes be described as midori no kurokami (緑の黒髪).
While midori (緑) usually means "green," here it means "freshness" or "glossiness."
In the past, midori meant "new growth," and from there, the above meanings were derived.
In addition, kuro (黒) means "black," and kami (髪) means "hair," so midori no kurokami literally means "fresh, grassy, beautiful black hair."
This expression is a compliment that implies youthfulness, but the nuance may not be conveyed to recent young women.

緑の黒髪
女性の黒くつやのある美しい髪のことを、「緑の黒髪」と表現することがあります。
「緑」は "green" を意味することが多いですが、ここでは「みずみずしさ」や「つややかさ」を意味します。
「緑」はかつて「新芽」を意味する語でもあり、そこからこのような意味が派生しました。
また、「黒」は "black"、「髪」は "hair" を意味するので、「緑の黒髪」は文字どおり「みずみずしくてつややかな美しい黒髪」という意味になります。
この表現は若々しさを含蓄する褒め言葉ですが、最近の若い女性には伝わらないかもしれません。
