I WOULD think that odd, but that is not the case.

OP--maybe do a little research--absinthe is a drink.

Now, I have the new IZOD Advantage Polo in three different colors. One of those is known as "Absinthe Green", a light shade of green.

No, I don't think it's weird. Did you buy one in Pepto Pink?

Nope, that is the only one named after a drug. My other colors are Cradle Pink, Blue Radiance, and Tea Rose.

No different than any other color named after a food, spice, or drink, be it mustard, claret, or cinnamon, for example. It's a distinctive shade of green, which is what the stylist wanted to note in the selection of the color name.
