There's nothing wrong with a little color calibration though.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Green is any of a number of similar colors. Green is seen commonly in nature, especially in plants. Many plants are green mainly because of a complex chemical known as chlorophyll which is involved in photosynthesis.

Green light has a wavelength of roughly 520–570 nm and is considered one of the additive primary colors. It is the complement of magenta; more properly the color #FF00FF. People who are red-green color blind can often distinguish between the two colors but confuse them with other colors, for example, bright green with yellow; dark green with brown.

The term "green" does not define an exact color unless it is conjunction with some standard like X11 colors or an absolute color space like sRGB. The two colors shown to the right are wildly different, but each is called "Green" in a widely used color standard.

Web color

The color green used in HTML and CSS is actually a dark green (#008000), as seen in the sample to the right: the pure green color is called lime.

"Green" as a political ideology

The ecology movement uses green because of its common occurrence in nature. Greenpeace, an ecological group, uses green because of its association with life and verdancy. Those who carry this into the political realm are called "Greens":

There are political parties known as "Green Parties" in over one hundred countries throughout the world (beginning primarily in Europe, though similar parties have taken root around the world). The more generic term "green party" is used for parties that emphasize environmentalism, but it is increasingly out of favour as the Global Greens have succeeded in uniting almost all such parties under a Global Green Charter.

A "Green Party" (or Faction) also existed in the Byzantine Empire for a while, but of course it had nothing to do with modern Greens. Rather, it developed out of a kind of chariot racing fanclub whose drivers used the color green to distinguish themselves from the opposing "Blue Party".

The flag of Libya is plain green (the traditional color of Islam), the only current national flag of a single color.

Green as a symbol

Green is the color symbolizing earth, nature, and in a broader sense, life. It is also the colour of the back of U.S. currency (giving rise to the slang term "greenback"), and thus carries a connotation of money, wealth, and capitalism. This is especially true in the U.S., but the symbol of the dollar worldwide makes it a wider symbol.

In North American stock markets, green is used to denote a rise in stock prices. In East Asian stock markets, however, green is used to denote a drop in stock prices.

In stories involving King Arthur and his Knights, the color green signifies mystical or magical properties. An excellent example is in the tale Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The Green Knight accepted a blow to the neck with an axe - only to have his body pick up his head and ride away. Later, Sir Gawain received a green sash, a gift that protected the wearer from death.

It just appears to be blank. Really it is green!

Schweinfurt green or emerald green was developed in an attempt to improve Scheele's green. This copper aceto-arsenite pigment was first produced commercially by the firm of Wilhelm Sattler at Schweinfurt, Germany in 1814. Justus Von Liebig and Andre Bracconot separately published papers on its method of manufacture. Von Liebig's paper "Sur une couleur verte" was published in 1823 in Annales de chimie XXIII (pp. 412-3). Verdigris (or acetic acid) was dissolved in vinegar and warmed. A watery solution of white arsenic was added to it so that a dirty green solution was formed. To correct the color, fresh vinegar was added to dissolve the solid particles. The solution was then boiled and bright blue-green sediment was obtained. It was then separated from the liquid, washed and dried on low heat and ground in thirty- percent linseed oil. The pigment was considered a good drier.
Schweinfurt green had brilliance unlike any other copper green. Field considered it a more durable pigment than Scheele's green but it had the same tendency to blacken on exposure to sulfur-bearing air. Romanesque murals are known to contain the natural mineral emerald green and have held the color well. The old Masters, who used verdigris and copper greens due to a lack of more durable options, isolated the pigments in between coats of varnish that helped to alleviate changes. Schweinfurt green was also made more stable in a varnish medium. It could not be mixed with sulfur-containing colors, such as cadmium yellow, vermilion or ultramarine blue because they acted chemically on it to produce a deep brown color. Field considered its use to be limited as it was not a green that occurred in nature. The arsenic content made it extremely poisonous and it was blamed for deaths when employed as a wallpaper color.
