Green. It is one of the countless colors in our(us human's) field of vison. Over the years, it has accumulated a personality for itself through it's use in banners, paintings, and in life itself. But, let's just touch on the basics of green. Chlorophyl, the pigment that allows plants to photosynthesize and create the vast majority of the chemical energy(aka food), is green. Because it is a color almost always found within plants, and due to the versatility and durability of plants, green is often associated with growth. Green is also closly connected with things that are young or "new". For example, a green break is when a bone in a person bends(more than it should), instead of acually breaking. A green horn is usually used to refer to people new to a profession.
Green vegetables make up many foods that I love. Apples, Lettuce, Kiwis, Cabbages, and many others are painted with green, ranging from a blush of the color to a solid coating of it. One of my FAAAAAVORITE foods, called chorizo soup, is made with collard greens.
Green is a very lively color, and the lighter the green- the livlier and younger it feels. Dark green can Thsometimes give the feeling of old or even ancient. But even the oldest of redwood trees spring with bright new pine needles in the spring, and even the youngest of people can carry on a tradition as ancient as history itself.
