a lot to be said for green. Stable, smack dab in the middle of the visible spectrum. Normal, total C average. Green’s the type of guy who goes to Lions Club meetings in the suburbs, drives a minivan and considers Italian cuisine exotic.

Granted, we have our very lives to thank for this bore of a color. Plants reflect it and it makes us happy thinking that green = natural, whereas, green things absorb every other color but green. So, according to lightwave physics, it’s exactly the opposite of life-sustaining.

O, and it means wealth (see: greenback). And second to orange, no one is flattered to be seen in it. And it’s the color your mucus is when you’re sick.
