Just like eating marbles out of a sewer.

It was a deep blue green, the kind you only see from those Icelandic volcano lava trails.

The laissez-faire nature of language has determined that those expressions are not very successful at conveying meaning and nobody uses them.
See how some problems take care of themselves? you don't need to go on a crusade to convince people to not use lava as a metaphor to describe "deep blue-green" things because the "unwashed masses" would all look at you like a dipshit if you tried.
