Green, wonderful and sturdy, the many tones it can express such diversity in identity.  A limey green flutters natural youth, while a deeper green whispers natural age and wisdom.  But viridian hums royalty and construct. 

Green can shine or blunt; green can scream or murmur.  Brilliant contrast found in nature and poison.  Mechanical, mythical, extravagant, but frivolous green is processed by the cleaner, more polished shades.  

Green: underrated, underused, underappreciated.  I use it whenever I can but it’s difficult to run the revolution alone.

I ask all artists to seek out room in your pieces for green, it’s an underrated, enormously versatile color that should be more frequently put to use in a wider range of stylistic applications.
