Which green are you dubious about?
Cobra. There's definitely COBR but I'm not aware of COBRA being an acronym. Also, I don't know what forest is an acronym of, but I'm willing to concede it might be one.

Also back to yellow, does screech qualify? It's not an object that is named for the sound it makes, it is a sound.

It's imitative of a sound, so it's onomatapoeic.
COBRA is the government's emergency management body, and is an acronym, according to which source you believe, of 'Cabinet Office Briefing Room A', or just 'Cabinet Office Briefing Room', with the A added to make a word. https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainer/cobr-cobra FOREST is the Freedom Organisation for the Right to Enjoy Smoking Tobacco.

Yes, I thought it was just COBR, pronounced "cobra". Still an acronym, but not what was in your puzzle.

So I would hate you to think nobody has tried this. I have. I can't do it. Whatever I try won't work, and believe me I have tried. Sometimes it is effortless to take a dislike to a poster.  :P

It was a bit misleading of you to spell some out and give the rest in figures. I assumed that had some significance, which is why I too got nowhere.

No, I spelled out ones that were spelled out in the categories and put in figures the ones that were in figures.

Strongly themed. Probably easy if you're familiar with the theme; if not, not. No ambiguities.
