Green
Green
with envy, green as in naive or thick. Green as in sick as a dog.
Not very positive things to be associated with a colour really but
it's not as easy to use green as you might think

Some
greens, like the green of spider plants when they're not too well,
or pea green can have a lifelessness about them that can be a bit
deadening if you are not careful. But if you imitate
nature and a touch of colour here and there, pinks especially, it can be much
more lively or soothing and tasteful. Green is the most restful colour on the eye after all. It is also the colour of
mould and decay, however, the colour of creepiness as well as the colour of
spring and love, so work with it. Look at the colour wheel for
contrasts and complements.

"I prefer
the green cool and lush by
adding blue, or cheeky and fresh by adding yellow. These shades of
green are
more vital and easier to live with."

"My
favourite place for green is in the bathroom. It’s a brilliant
room to go tropical in, what with the steam and heat and candlelight
to finish it off. And you can afford to be daring in the bathroom
because after all it is the bathroom."
