Green is the colour....

Like death and taxes, there is no escaping colour. It is ubiquitous.

Yet what does it all mean?

Why are people more relaxed in green rooms? Why do weightlifters do their best in blue gyms? Colours often have different meanings in various cultures. And even in Western societies, the meanings of various colours have changed over the years. But today in The UK, researchers have generally found the following to be accurate.

GREEN

Green stands as a symbol of life, growth and harmony. It brings us comfort, relaxation and wellness.
When we think of green, we imagine many of nature's offerings such as forests, trees, grass, olives, apples, lichen, jade and emerald.

Green's strong link with nature seems to bring us closer to nature and to one another. In addition to fostering peace of mind, green seems to balance certain of our physiological functions, among them our heart, lungs and blood circulation.

Certain studies even suggest that green promotes deep, slow breathing.

Colour therapists use green to cure a number of ailments.
Those who dress in green tend to be careful, inclined to observe rather than act. They also display a humanitarian spirit, enjoy helping others and tend to notice details that others simply overlook.
