Psychology

Light greens read as fresh, organic and optimistic — mint, spring growth, and new beginnings.

History

The pigment verdigris — a green formed by the corrosion of copper — was widely used in medieval manuscripts and early oil painting, despite its tendency to darken over time.

Design use
