What does the color green mean?
Green is soothing, refreshing and invigorating all at once. The color of hope and of life awakening, it brings harmony, stability and focus, and invites calm. Nature remains its best-known meaning: it is the emblem of eternity and rebirth, that of the buds returning every spring.
A symbol of youth, it also has its weak spots: inexperience, naivety and envy, since we turn “green with envy”. In China, wearing a “green hat” even designates a betrayed husband. In the English-speaking world, finally, it is the color of money, the color of US banknotes.
👉 Green is banned from theaters: Molière collapsed while performing The Imaginary Invalid, dressed in green according to tradition, and died at home a few hours later, in 1673. The superstition lives on.
