All Shades Of Green
1st edition — by Patrick McNeil — Jan. 13, 2006
The Design Element
The color green primarily symbolizes nature
and environment. Green is closely associated with money and the suggestion
to "proceed", as suggested by traffic signals. The color can range
from Irish, to financial, or even punk. In most of the samples below the
use of green creates a soothing and safe feel, and many of the sites are
very refreshing. A versatile color for sure. Check out the samples below
to see ways it can be used.
Connotations of green: Nature, environment, money, wealth,
family, harmony, health, peace, posterity, soothing, relaxing, springtime,
youth, humor, fun, happiness, life, growth, jealousy, envy, novice, restful,
calming, balance, stability, summer, organic, recycled, plants, trees,
fertility, fresh, good luck, and vigor.
