To me green is comforting, refreshing, inviting & soothing. After a long stressful day, I come home, open the door & the soft gray green walls in my kitchen instantly make me feel calm and relaxed. I don't really wear green clothes or wouldn't decorate with certain shades of green...but its my favorite color because it makes me feel peaceful.

I think green is the color of balance, well-being and silent contemplation. It makes me feel fresh, relaxed and more connected to the more important things in life when I stare at it (probably because it reminds me of nature).

Green is an ugly color. It makes me feel irritated and annoyed. I don't know why I hate this color so much but the hatred has persisted since childhood.

Makes me feel uncomfortable. Yuck! It reminds me of school because of our uniforms and the colour of our classrooms. It gives me a headache.

Green sounds good. It is a sense of life, let us go back as far as the creation of man and every thing. The first thing mentioned in the Bible as food for all livings was green materials. Realy it is a sign of life but looks awkwad, I mean it is not attractive especially when some thing appears pure green. All living materials with exception of a few abnomals they all depends on green for their life whether directly or indirectly. Green fits to some of but not all, take forexample one in green shoes though not bad but not attractive. Green posseses importance its by the reasons of its uses, otherwise it could be the most dislike color.

Green for me is the colour of life. I get a strange positive vibe from this colour. It calms me,soothes me,motivates me,energises me. When the raindrops twinkle n tickle down the leaves of lush green trees on a typical monsoon day it makes me feel so down to earth and as if I can touch the void in my soul. I feel so connected to green. GREEN for me is truly the colour of LIFE, HOPE, PROSPERITY and HAPPINESS. Its the colour with which God has painted this beautiful world.

I like green colour because I love nature. Nature is mostly green colour, which is why I like green so much. When I am feeling tense, just seeing the colour green helps reduce my stress levels. My mind feels relaxed. So, for that reason, I feel like green is my best friend in life.
