Things specified in this poem:
Amarath - is a rose-red color of the flower of the amaranth plant.
The first written use of amaranth as a color name in English was in 1690. The name is derived from the name in Greek mythology of a flower that was believed to never die, that grew in the abode of the Greek gods on Mount Olympus.

Blush - to turn a reddish color

Lime - a bright shade of green.

Tangerine - Tangerine is an orange color hue used to give the impression of the tangerine fruit. Because of the brightness of the color variants, they are often employed to make a small but centrally important object stand out, especially when surrounded by the flat colors of earth tones. One of the original "fruit-flavored" iMacs released in 1999 was the Tangerine iMac. (Apple could not call it "Orange" due to the existence of the rival firm Orange Micro).

Icterine - is a color, described as yellowish, jaundice-yellow or marked with yellow. It is derived from Ancient Greek "ikteros" (jaundice), via the Latin ictericus. It is used as an adjective in the names of birds with yellowish plumage.

The first recorded use of golden as a color name in English was in 1300. Source: Wikipedia.
