    Does it scrape off easily?

    I've had coralline in shades of green from lime to about as bright as yours. Seems it was always the precursor to the purple.

    I will check when I get home, stuck at the DMV right now:(. Coralline will not rub off easily?

    no it doesn't. If it's CA you'll have to work to scratch it off with a fingernail.
