Green is the color of life and of the Earth, and it stands out from the rest of the color spectrum because it stands alone. (Roy G. Biv.) Green makes other bright colors such as red pop out from the background, and compliments blues and purples with its subtle hints. I have always loved the color green, and I had a replica of Steve's green striped shirt from "Blue's Clues" that I wore days on end and would never take off. Green looks good on almost anybody I would say. There's Kelly green, lime green, olive green; any person could find his/her perfect green that makes them look good. I love green for so many reasons, and here are some that I thought were the most important.
1. Green is the color of balance and harmony, peace, hope, and understanding. It brings us all together on our one Earth in which we all depend on.
2. Green is the color of life. If you look outside during the summer months, green is visible as far as the eye can see. Even in the winter the pine trees and spruces and Douglas firs all proudly display their shade of chlorophyll.
3. Envy. Even though envy is one of the seven Deadly Sins, it motivates me to do my best as a person so I don't get those feelings anymore. Envy drives us to work our hardest, to show ourselves and other people what we got.
4. Limes are green, and limes make other foods taste really good, like salmon or chicken!
5. Green, especially lime green, is just so bright and happy and makes furniture much less boring!
6. Green symbolizes renewable energy and its future; our future even. Now I'm not blasting OPEC or fossil fuels, but it is highly important to inquire and invest in Green energy so we can have a more sustainable future so we don't have to depend on foreign oil so much!
7. And finally, green helps you stand out. And liking the color green is not the mainstream like liking blue or red is. Being different is a great thing, because if you aren't different, who's going to notice you?
There are so many different shades of green, that it is hard to pick my favorite, but I would have to say lime green is my absolute favorite. Green symbolizes life here on Earth and that we need to respect our Earth because it gives us so much. A greener world is a better world, and a better world makes for a better life.
