Well, I got two different brands, so my color names don't match... in Vanna's Choice I got Mustard and Autumn Red, which I think translate to Gold and Deep Claret. In Caron Simply Soft I got Deep Teal Heather, which I think translates to Greenhouse.

And then, yanno, I did a granny square and realized I was working with red green and gold... holiday colors. lol.... but Autumnish, oh so very Autumnish!

What did you end up with, Ami? It sure is hard matching colors to computer screens, but then, it can be hard matching colors to themselves too; my first green was a lighter jade green to match that first one we picked, and the yarn skeins held together seemed wonderful! But then when I started the granny square it was actually boring and needed a different green, and I had to go get the teal to make the colors pop again.
