In regards to web design, and colours used on the internet, the colour chartreuse is a pale apple green. Picture a granny smith apple, but lighter in colour.
There is also a colour named "chartreuse yellow" which is a similar colour, but displays a bit more yellow tint. A sort of light yellowish green.
The original name "chartreuse" refers to what is now considered "chartreuse yellow." So if you are reading an older book, it would be describing the second of the two colours.
