The calming effect of the color green has been taken advantage of by experts the world over. It is a popular tip to look at something green from a distance to rest tired eyes, which usually result from being in front of a computer for too long or reading too much. Guests waiting to be called out during a television show may be more likely waiting in a “green room” to help them relax, which helps if they have stage fright.

While the color red is used to convey warnings, green is used to convey that it is alright to proceed without worry. The best example of this is a stoplight, as red means “stop” and green means “go”. Likewise, giving something the “green light” means that it is safe to embark on a certain project.
Unfortunately, this color also has its share of negative connotations. It has traditionally been the symbol of jealousy, witchcraft, decay and the devil. In British and Celtic cultures (except maybe the Irish), green is perceived as an unlucky color. Someone is said to have a “green mind” if they always thought of naughty things. A tinge of green on the skin is thought as unhealthy and usually associated with nausea and sickness.
The positive messages conveyed by the color green far outweigh the negatives ones, though. So if you ever get that green iPod, many of your friends will be definitely be green with envy.
