Why green?

Green is the color of money...

Orange is too much like red. Purple is too much like blue. But green is just right.

Green is life.

I lived in Phoenix AZ for two years. I saw a lot of beauty in the deserts around Phoenix I would never have appreciated had I not lived there. But upon returning to Virginia, I realized the one thing I missed was the color green, and not just any green, but the lush green of trees and foliage. Even my eyes felt relief once I crossed the Mississippi into Tennessee.

My son who served in Iraq and Afghanistan told me the same thing when he came home. He missed the lush greens of trees and plants. Now, compare this type of green to say the grays of concrete in the big cities, or the dull browns of a barren landscape. Even sailors who spend months upon months at sea say the sight of trees on land is a welcome relief.

Lots of reason green works, but yes, it can be evil for the same reasons it works...

because green doesn't clash. purple is a cool color that is too close to red, and orange is a warm color that would make blue the minority. Green is the perfect cool color because it's not close to red or yellow (at least it doesn't look it)



....Or something like that.....

The primary colors are Red, Yellow, Blue
The primary colors of light are Red, Blue, Green

Crayons (for example) represent all four primary colors, even though it would make more sense to have a black or white crayon, since the primaries can make the others.

Green is for cool guys.

BTW, did I mention I used have pink vs. green wars with some friends?

Come to the Pink Side. We're better than that other color.

ButtonTheCat, your avatar is hilarious. I don't want to date her, but there's someone I'd like to fix her up with.

It saddens me that summer is coming to an end, soon the green will be gone and all that will remain is death.

Because you hate it is reason enough to use it

Having a bad day? Not death. Sleep.

OMG! I loved it! Love the diverse selection of avatar/people in the video. The song is catchy too. "I'm craving to emote with you...so many animations I can do..."
