green signifies growth, renewal, health, and
environment. On the flip side, green is jealousy or
envy (green-eyed monster) and inexperience.

Culture of Green: Green is the national color of
Ireland and is strongly associated with that country.
Green also has close associations with Islam.
Because of all the green in nature the color is
reminiscent of Spring. Coupled with red it's a
Christmas color.

Using Green: With both a warming and cooling effect, the color green denotes balance, harmony, and stability. Use several
shades of green for a fresh, Springtime feel. Olive green, also called olive drab, is a not so drab summery green that may have
military overtones for some people.
Using Green with Other Colors: Green with blue produces echoes of nature - water and forest and can denote new
beginnings and growth. Green with brown, tan, or beige says organic or recycled. Tri-color combinations of green with yellow
and black or white are sporty, outdoorsy colors. Purple with green can be high contrast, lively. Lime green with orange and
yellow is a fresh and fruity palette.
