blart.BOS Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Green is considered one of the additive primary colors. The perception of green is evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 520–570 nm. The complement of green is a purple, such as magenta; that is, a color corresponding to a mixture of red and blue light. On a traditional color wheel, based on subtractive color, the complementary color to green is considered to be red.[2] Shades of green Electric green (web color lime) The color displayed at right, electric green (web color or X11 color lime) is the brightest possible pure green that can be represented in a 24-bit-per-pixel RGB color space. This pure green represents one of the three additive primaries, along with red and blue, is used in computer monitors, and is reproduced as a good approximation to a pure spectral green. When approximated (with less brightness) in pigments, this color is called bright green. Kelly green Kelly Green About these coordinates — Color coordinates — CMYKH (c, m, y, k) (100, 0, 100, 0) Source CMYK Tintbook H: Normalized to [0–100] (hundred) Kelly green, also known as grass green or pigment green, is achieved by mixing cyan and yellow pigments in equal proportions. Shamrock green is the color of green used in the flag of Ireland, and therefore it is also called Irish green[citation needed]. It represents the color of Shamrocks in what is poetically called the "Emerald Isle" for its emerald-colored vegetation[citation needed]. This green is legally defined as Pantone 347[3], a proprietary color system which does not have a direct equivalent in sRGB. It is customary in both Ireland and the United States to wear this shade of green, or any shade of green that one prefers, on St. Patrick's Day, March 17, even if one is not of Irish descent. The color in this form is the shade of green used in the Flag of the Organization of the Islamic Conference. Islam used/uses this shade of green symbolically because the tribe of the prophet Muhammad had a green banner and because to them green represented paradise (the Persian word for garden) to desert-dwelling Bedouin tribes when they gathered at an oasis. The conservative shade of green shown at right, office green, was the original color designated as "green" for computer displays in the 1980s[citation needed]. It was apparently chosen because it is the color of the green-colored pencils used by accountants and the color of green office file cabinets[citation needed]. Green is common in nature, especially in plants. Many plants are green mainly because of a complex chemical known as chlorophyll which is involved in photosynthesis. Some animals are green: these include some frogs, toads, some turtles some lizards and amphibians, some snakes, some birds such as parrots, caterpillars and some insects such as praying mantids.

Politics Main articles: Green politics and Worldwide green parties * The Green Party is any of various political parties emphasizing environmental issues, grassroots democracy, pacifism, and social justice. The environmental lobby or ecology movement uses green because of its common occurrence in nature. Greenpeace, an ecological group, uses green because of its association with life and verdancy. Europeans who carry this into the political realm are called Greens: There are political parties known as "Green Parties" in over one hundred countries throughout the world (beginning primarily in Europe, though similar parties have taken root around the world). The more generic term "green party" is used for parties that emphasize environmentalism, but it is increasingly out of favour as the Global Greens have succeeded in uniting almost all such parties under a Global Green Charter. In the UK the ecology party became the Green Party. * In the United States, especially in the state of Minnesota, green has been used by many Democratic candidates (blue, white, gold and green colors show up frequently in official state imagery in Minnesota), though it does not necessarily symbolize adherence to Green principles.

Also, Roman Catholic clergy wear green vestments at liturgical celebrations during Ordinary Time. * In the Eastern Catholic church, green is the color of Pentecost. Sexuality * In high schools in the United States during the 1960s, it was widely believed that if someone wore green on Thursdays, it meant that they were homosexual.
