What is the Psychology of Green?

The word “green” refers to light which falls within the visible spectrum, with a wavelength range between around 495 and 570 nanometers. Green has the most variations, because it is the largest span of wavelengths of any color!

Green holds different meanings across cultures. In some cultures, it's associated with wealth and good luck, while in others, it can symbolize envy or jealousy. Green is often associated with nature, growth, renewal, and hope. It's also connected to concepts like fertility, harmony, and peace.

Green is considered a calming color that can reduce stress and anxiety. Green is often used in relaxing environments like hospitals and spas. Often dubbed “Nature’s neutral,” green is abundant in nature due to chlorophyll, the pigment that gives plants their green color and helps them photosynthesize.

There are a variety of shades in this eye-catching hue that can convey different messages. From minty freshness to lush greenery, there’s something distinctly impactful about this vibrant hue when used for creative tasks such as adding rhinestone embellishments! So, let’s take a look at some popular shades of green and what they mean and symbolize.
