GREEN

really enjoy the month of March! One reason is that my maiden name is
I Fitzgerald, so St. Patrick’s Day is always a fun holiday for me. Plus, my birthday
is at the end of the month. That might be why my favorite color is green. This
month let’s explore the color green!

Colors are often associated with meanings. The color green is no exception.
Green can symbolize several different things including:
Growth and Renewal:
Green is the most common color in nature, symbolizing growth and
life. In spring, we see green grass and new leaves, which can give us a
refreshing feeling.
Balance and Calm:
Green is in the center of the color spectrum, representing balance.

Environmentally Friendly:
The term “green” is often used to describe products that are good for the
environment.
Luck:
In some cultures, green is seen as a lucky color. For instance,
in Ireland, it is associated with good fortune, like 4-leaf clovers
and St. Patrick’s Day.

Greed:
While green can symbolize wealth and ambition, it can also represent
negative traits like greed, as it is often linked to money.
Envy:
Green can also symbolize jealousy, as shown in phrases like “green with
envy.” Many villains in superhero stories are portrayed in green because
of their greedy and envious characteristics, such as the Green Goblin
and Poison Ivy.
