I always find the colour green calming and relaxing:
Green occupies more space in the spectrum visible to the human eye than most colors, and is second only to blue as a favorite color. Green is the pervasive color in the natural world, making it an ideal backdrop in interior design because we are so used to seeing it everywhere.
The natural greens, from forest to lime, are seen as tranquil and refreshing, with a natural balance of cool and warm (blue and yellow) undertones. Green is considered the color of peace and ecology.
How the color green affects us physically
- Soothes
- Relaxes mentally, as well as physically
- Helps alleviate depression, nervousness, and anxiety
- Offers a sense of renewal, self-control, and harmony
Lots more information on the colour green can be found on the Sensational Colour website.
So true about the color green. Love the simplicity of this image. Not sure if it’s the color..or something else – but certainly calming and very relaxing!
I found it rather striking and just had to take a photo of it.
Hmmmmm… ok, my first thought was ‘that is very green’
And the second- “I like the leaf’s shape”
And the third… ‘that’s a really nice lawn’
I think we would get a little wet walking on because it is actually a pond…
I-n-t-e-r-e-s-t-i-n-g … I’ve only just moved over to green/blue.
I was trying to remember as I posted this if it was you who said you didn’t like the colour green…
That’s probably why my blog is nearly always green.
Oh dear…it is why the cells in Broadmoor are painted a pale green colour…
Hmm! it could well be
I love the contrast between the shades of green
I found the scene quite fascinating
