For most people a green path leads inevitably to thoughts of nature. Mother
Nature painted more green on earth than any other color. It is the hue
of foliage, grass, and growing plants; of graceful sheltering trees, dappled
meadows and clinging vines; the shade of forest and jungle. Green is so
pervasive in nature that we never question it as a background for all
other surrounding colors. Contrasting with purple pansies, pink azaleas,
yellow daylilies, orange marigolds or red tulips (and any other color
under the sun), leafy foliage greens are truly nature's perfect neutral.
While most greens emanate from the earth, blue-greens are associated
with the sea; calm, spacious, and cool. Teal green, a variation of blue-green,
is seen as sophisticated and upscale, as are the bluer versions of teal
and teal blue. When deep blue is added to green, the shade becomes more
serious and pensive.
