The Story Behind Green
Green shares its root with "grow" and "grass," both coming from the same Old English word for a growing, living thing. Beyond nature and money, it's become shorthand for anything eco-friendly, and it's one of the easiest colors on the eyes, which is why it shows up on "go" signals and hospital scrubs.
