Green
Green is life.
Abundant in nature, green signifies growth, renewal, health,
and environment. On the flip side, green is jealousy or envy
(green-eyed monster) and inexperience.
Green is a restful colour with some of the same calming
attributes of blue. Like blue, time moves faster in a green
room.
Green is the national colour of Ireland
and is strongly associated with that country. Green also
has close associations with Islam. Because of all the green
in nature the colour is reminiscent of Spring.
Coupled with
red it's a Christmas colour.
With both a warming and cooling effect, the colour green
denotes balance, harmony, and stability. Use several shades
of green for a fresh, Springtime feel.
Green with blue produces echoes of nature
- water and forest and can denote new beginnings and growth.

orange and yellow is a fresh and fruity palette. |
