Green

Do you want to use this color in your promotional items? Here's what you should know!

Green has many color meanings. It is the color of jealousy, but also of growth, newness, luck, renewal, and prosperity. You see green in nature, which is why it’s used for environmental causes.

Ancient Egyptians and Romans used green pigments to paint cave walls. They also used this cool color to tint coins, sculptures, and mosaics. Pantone later named “Greenery” their Color of the Year in 2017.

Examples of Green Symbolism

Go Green Initiative

Jill Buck was alarmed by the amount of waste and the use of pesticides at her children’s schools in California. She started the Go Green Initiative in 2002 to address these issues, and it has since become an enormous success. All fifty U.S. States have their own program, and “go green” is part of our lexicon.

The Great Gatsby

Gatsby is tormented by the green light he sees from the dock near his estate. Literature experts believe this color symbolism represents his financial greed and jealousy over Daisy being married to another man.

Currency

Green is the color of paper money, emeralds, and jade. For that reason, when you see any shade of green, you immediately think of prosperity, wealth, and good fortune.
