Green occupies more space in the spectrum visible to the human eye than most colours, and is secondly only to blue as a favourite colour. Green is the pervasive colour in the natural world making it an ideal backdrop in interior design because we are so used to seeing it everywhere.

The natural greens from forest to lime are seen as tranquil and refreshing, with a natural balance of cool and warm (blue and yellow) undertones.

Green is considered the colour of peace and ecology. However there is an ‘institutional’ side to green associated with illness and government issued green cards, that conjures up negative emotions, as do the slimy or bilious greens.

It is proven that the colour green affects us physically by influencing our creativity by soothing us, relaxes us mentally and physically, helps alleviate depression, nervousness and anxiety and also offers us a sense of renewal, self-control and harmony,

According to some theorists, the explanation dates back thousands of years. Evolutionary psychologist attempt to explain behaviour on the basis of how it might of helped people thrive and survive through generations. In their opinion, being confronted with healthy trees and plants might initiate an ancient feeling of calm because it suggests there will be an abundance of nearby food, which eases the worry of where the next food supply is coming from.

    Colours symbolise a great deal in this film and some colours have particularly strong meanings. Green is the most prominent colour in the film, and it also forms part of the title. It can represent envy, evil, trickery, growth, renewal, life, neutrality, passivity and indecision. It is a sign of freshness, youth, virtue and peace. In the film, we can link green to global warming, a sick feeling, unhealthiness, weirdness, depression and pollution. It is also ironic because the colour green represents life, and Soylent Green is composed of dead people.…

    Green is representative of the power that Gatsby has with his wealth. An example of this is when he is throwing his clothes around the room. One of the shirts is described as “apple-green” (Fitzgerald 99). This represents his money because he uses the shirts to showcase his wealth and try to win over Daisy. Another place where Gatsby’s tries to use his wealth to show off it with his car. “He felt the hot, green leather of the seats (Fitzgerald 128).” This quote shows the wealth of his car and how he tries to use it in order to show off to Daisy by suggesting that he, Nick, Tom, and Daisy all take his car to get into town. Green is also used to show Gatsby’s corruptness and deceitfulness. When Michaelis described the car that hit Myrtle to the police officer he said it was light-green when its actual color was yellow (Fitzgerald 147). This represents corruptness because Gatsby allows Daisy to speed off in his car after she just ran over Myrtle Wilson. The last example of green being a corrupt color is the green light Gatsby saw at the end of Daisy’s dock (Fitzgerald LAST). The corruptness in this example is shown because it wraps up all the bad relationships in the end of the book with all the characters, and how Gatsby never would end up being with Daisy, the girl of his dreams. This connection between Gatsby and Daisy was depicted in great detail throughout the…

    According to “Kids’ Room Color Wisdom: How Colors Affect Behavior”, colors have the potential to inspire, excite, soothe, heal, and even agitate human beings. The article breaks down how pink, purple, blue, red, and other colors have the potential to affect behavior. Pink has the possibility to calm down both sexes. However, most boys are not attracted to pink(Hammond 15). Purple symbolizes royalty, but it also symbolizes sensitivity, compassion, and inspiration in children. Blue, the dominant color for boys, decreases feelings of anxiety and aggression and also lowers blood pressure and heart rates(Hammond 3). Red has the ability to energize the body, excite the mind, and increase heart and breathing rates. Colors are important because they can sway thinking, change actions, and cause reactions.…

    Life in the sixties focused on self-expression and home design was just the place for people to make their individual statements about peace and love. Most of the colors in the era were inspired by nature. The color scheme we chose utilizes the four main colors seen everywhere in the 60’s.These colors included blue, orange, yellow and red; however we chose to use blue-green, yellow-orange, red-violet (pink), and yellow-green hues. The colors share a low chroma, or saturation, and dull luminescence to share a similar tonal range. The blue-green compliments yellow-orange, and the yellow-green does the same to red-violet to create a double complimentary color scheme. With the passing of 1950’s…

    The lighting and colours are effective techniques in Gattaca. The palette of the film is mainly green and a mix of blue/grey. It is visually cold and this is done deliberately to to reflect the sterile environment that is the world of Gattaca. Floods of green in the film show threat or tension. I chose a photo where Vincent exits a building into an alleyway, where he is asked by a police officer for his ID, and then Vincent knocks the guard out. In this scene, there are floods of green and murky colours of brown. Contrastingly, there are scenes which are bathed in golden light, such as when Vincent's ambition of going to space is revealed and the scene of Vincent and Irene's intimacy. This technique shows a different colour lighting compared to the rest of…

    The symbolism of the color green varies in mythical meanings. The expression of the color is seen frequently throughout the medieval romance, it is first shown in the exposition of the story. “Splendid that knight errant stood in a splay of green (Gawain poet.1.230).” A giant knight came into King Arthur’s kingdom on Christmas day; the knight was abnormally large and entirely green. The other knights feared him due to his unusual characteristics however, he was unarmed and held only a bough of holly and a green axe. The Green Knight’s strange components, such as his abnormal skin and stature, indicate that the color green is a color of whimsy, nature and foreign aspects. The Knight proposes a Christmas challenge and Sir Gawain volunteers on behalf of the king. “That he dares to stoutly exchange one stroke for another, I shall let him have as my present this lovely gisarme, this ax (Gawain Poet.67-69.233).”After the…

    The roots of studying the effects of color can be traced back to ancient cultures, such as the Chinese and Egyptians. They practiced “chromotherapy, or using colors to heal.” For example, “blue was believed to soothe illness and treat pain,” while “yellow was thought to stimulate the body” (Cherry). Just like color psychology received much skepticism in ancient times; it still receives much skepticism today. No matter how unaware we are of the physiological and psychological effects of color, there is no doubt that color has a huge impact on our lives, playing a role in moods, decisions, sensations, and much more.…
