I love green. It is the symbol of nature and spring which is a new beginning. Green means the old has been shead and a new time is beginning.

Calming?

I read somewhere that green is a calming color, or a color that helps concentration or something. I'm pretty sure that it's right, but I can't find anything solid on it yet. I really like the color green and i"m going to paint my room in a subtle green because i like to be as calm as it makes me.

When I See Green...

Whenever I see green, I think of happy things. It's one of my favorite colors. It makes me feel relaxed and uplifted. I don't know why, but whenever I see green I think of my cousin so that also makes me like green.

I hate green, always have

Green makes me feel agitated. I can't stand green things in my space, it makes me feel anxious. If I look at aqua or teal, I see all the green in the color and instantly have to turn away. I can't completely describe how the color makes me feel, and sometimes I know it's irrational, but it does.

green

Green gives me a rush. I buy everything in green, and like pictures with a lot of green in them. I like characters with green hair, eyes, clothes automatically. It gives me an endorphin rush, I think.

Sick

Some shades of green make me feel sick. I don't know why. I couldn't stand to have a green feature wall like I saw some friends had in their bedroom. Blur yuk!!!!

light

Dark colours feel heavy and depressing, but I love olive tones. They're so earthy and rich. Green is my favorite colour because it's so natural and calm. I also prefer light apple green.

Another post about green

Some of these posts are really weird! How does a color remind someone of another color? Hmm.... Anyways, green is a good color choice. It is easiest on the eyes, and is refreshing. It's not my favorite, but it's nice. I hate a lot of green foods though! I know...I sound like a 5-year-old, but that's just how it is. Suck it up,HAHA:) Umm...LATER RANDOM PEOPLE!

Green makes me feel. . .

Dark green makes me feel natural and happy. Light green makes me feel light (not heavy) and happy. Regular green (medium green) makes me feel happy, warm, and close.
