The color green has a range of  us physical and emotional effects. At its most fundamental level, green is soothing, relaxing, and indicative of youth. Green helps alleviate anxiety, depression, and nervousness and also brings with it a sense of hope, health, adventure, and renewal, as well as self-control, compassion, and harmony.

In marketing and branding, it is often used to indicate safety in the advertising of drugs and medical products. Unsurprisingly is directly related to nature and agriculture, so it is also commonly used to represent and promote ‘green’ products. In different cultures green carries different meanings. For example green is the national color of Ireland and is commonly associated with good luck, leprechauns, clovers, and Saint Patrick’s Day. Green also has close ties with Islam and is the color of the religion.
