'Emerald Gaiety,' with its white and green variegation, is another. Moonshadow euonymus has green and gold leaves, with the gold in the center and the green on the margins. As such, I tend to think of its coloration as an Emerald 'n' Gold euonymus "turned inside out" (on the latter, it is the gold that is on the edges of the leaves).
As you can see in this picture of Moonshadow euonymus, though, the green and gold color scheme isn't consistent (nor is it consistent in Emerald 'n' Gold euonymus, for that matter). The gold is strongest on the newest leaves, while it tends to fade to a creamy color on the older ones. Still, the creamy color is attractive in its own right; besides, there are usually plenty of new leaves to supply you with the golden color.
Moonshadow euonymus makes a better ground cover than does Emerald 'n' Gold, as it tends to stay shorter and spread out more horizontally.
