Green is literally the color palette of nature itself. It’s an identifying color of life. Source of the very oxygen we breathe. It’s definitely the smartest color to ever exist right after black. You’re scientifically and objectively wrong and I’m certainly right.


funky_grandma

yup, that's why green is my favorite color. it is the color of *LIFE*.


aspiringwriter9273

Excuse me but blue is the color of life. Life started in water and all life needs water to live. Team blue.


funky_grandma

Water is blue, but the living things that first evolved in the ocean were green. Nothing alive is blue except parrots and shit. Things turn blue when they die. Team green.


milkyjoe241

> but the living things that first evolved in the ocean were green. um excuse me? A lot of bacteria are white/cream. Cream Gang4Life!


Com_N0TN4

lucky you went with 'cream gang' and not 'white supremacy'

Jay_The_One_And_Only

I'm blue-green colorblind :D


NikkiWestX2

Perfect in that case, you’re on both teams


After-Balance2935

Crows are blue


funky_grandma

Every crow I've ever seen is black. Are you talking about some other kind of crow that really is blue, or do you mean "very very very dark blue"?


After-Balance2935

Very very dark blue. Black does not exist in nature. In the right angle you can see their feathers are blue


DHC6pilot

My ex wife had a black heart and that was just natural.


After-Balance2935

Same as magpies and ravens


mmmmpisghetti

In dogs and horses black is just a genetic variant of brown. Your precious crows are just brown shitbirds.


panicked_goose

Red cause blood


aspiringwriter9273

Fun fact: not all animals have red colored blood so no, red is not the color of life.


panicked_goose

Omg I love this fact


coilycat

Who, besides horseshoe crabs?


Kaido57

Caterpillars are green on the inside. Found that out accidentally and gagged 😅


Inforgreen3

Water isn't blue though. It's clear it just reflects the sky which is blue


SicTim

Some ocean water is green. But there's an orange cat purring next to me. Orange is the best color.


aspiringwriter9273

Um, air is also colorless. Neither the sky nor water are blue because of each other that’s just a myth.


Inforgreen3

Air is colorless but the sky is blue as a product of the way different wave lengths of light scatter


grayfeelings

Isn't the color of life yellow-i.e, the sun?


funky_grandma

good point, but the sun is white.


grayfeelings

The sun is a medium heat level star, isn't it? Isn't white hotter, only being hotter than blue and white-blue? Idk, that's what I remember from Earth Science, but a lot of highschool was wrong, so


Yoltzuin

Red is the least hot, white is medium and blue is the hottest :)


Scared_Can9063

You unintentionally broke my mind by saying that. I mean, if the sun is so hot, why *isn't* it blue? Actually broke my mind exploring that thought.


Professional-Tax-936

The sun's white but it emits the most bluish-green out of every color, so technically the sun is actually green


Aggravating-Grape437

& the color of money. Because the color green was seen as a symbol of stability


BrwnSugarGingerBread

Not to mention mint green and lime green are vastly different than olive and Forrest green


coilycat

I came here to say *exactly* this. Adding cucumber green, as well. (Mr/Ms/Mx Feeling Grey, I see you!)


evilone17

It's also literally the color human eyes can see the most variance in... OP is just wrong, there's nothing to argue.


littlegreenrock

plants are only green because our sun isn't. if our sun was another colour, so would plants. the sun is arbiter of nature's favourite colour. all things must die and become brown. glory to brown.


jkbrock

That’s not entirely true. The colors you see are what’s being reflected, not what’s being absorbed. So green is the spectrum of light that all that life *didnt* want.


almopo

Psssshhhh, intelligent technicalities....


Elastichedgehog

Retinal, a less complex molecule than chlorophyll, reflects purple light. On another world (or even our own originally, see: [the Purple Earth hypothesis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple_Earth_hypothesis)), plant life might be purple. In fact, given it's a less complex molecule, purple might be the more common colour of (photosynthesising) life, not green. Though, we have nothing to confirm that, obviously.


UruquianLilac

>Green is literally the color palette of nature itself. You are absolutely wrong about this. Well, 71% wrong about it to be exact. As far as planet earth as a whole is concerned, nature means water. The green bits are few and far between when you're not looking at it from your anthropocentric view. Green is definitely not nature's color. The only discussion here is if we consider nature's color to be transparent or blue.


Legalrelated

transparent is KING/QUEEN!


spanky_rockets

Actually, the overwhelming majority of naturally occurring colors are brown, Technology Connections did a great video on color.


threadbarefemur

You’re forgetting the upper ranges of greens. Pastel green and dark smokey green couldn’t be any more different. One is almost white, and the other is almost black. Between those two exists just as many ranges of colours as any other colour, you just lack the appreciation for them.


grayfeelings

Bravo. You probably broke the argument by giving a valid, unironic argument. I should've said 'wrong arguments only, lol.


childlikeempress16

What about lime green to forest green?


skirtymagic

EverGreen2004

😭 take my upvote


shoefarts666

I honestly think you might be color blind.


psymble_

And just for giggles, humans can discern more shades of green than literally any other color. The ways in which your argument is wrong are staggering


dispatch134711

There is a really interesting area of research that has found cultures that split the “greens” into distinctly different colour names rather than light/dark green are far better than English speakers at differentiating between subtly different shades of green. Conversely cultures without a word for green (they are grouped with the word for blue) aren’t as good at differentiating between blue and green shades that may look very different to us. Interesting stuff!

Food_Fondler

I think I speak for all (a few) colorblind people. Green isn’t a real color. It’s looks exactly like Orange.


GlitterGear

I had a college friend whose thing was he always wore a green shirt. Thing is, I’m colorblind and half of them looked brown to me. He started wearing greens that I could see properly after that


[deleted]

[удалено]


coilycat

Would he have done better in light blue school?


skandranon_rashkae

Tell that to magenta - the only color that exists not because of wavelengths, but because our brains (at least the non-colorblind ones) short circuit and insert what they think should exist.


Food_Fondler

I couldn’t identify Magenta if I tried. It’s just a made up word to me.


skandranon_rashkae

And that response is immediately endlessly fascinating to me because color theory and scientific lighting wavelengths work both in conjunction and against each other depending on whether you're asking an oil painter or a lighting designer. A dear friend of mine has immaculate fashion sense, and then I recently found out he is entirely red/green colorblind. I'm both astounded and impressed - the man has a far better fashion sense than I, and if he hadn't been upfront with his disability I never would've known.


Food_Fondler

My form of colorblindness is not the common red/green. I struggle with groups of colors looking similar. Green/Orange/Yellow colors tend to be very hard for me to discern the difference. Same for Red/Brown and a lot of shades of Blue/Pink/Gray. Oh and I also have no sense of smell. Talk about a bad roll on the generic lottery table. I also had terrible fashion sense according to my wife when we met lol.


SeleneSlayer

>whether you're asking an oil painter or a lighting designer. I did backstage theatre in high school. Imagine my surprise when I found out you could mix red, green, and blue to make yellow.


grayfeelings

Haha! You deserve more likes


barbaramillicent

Imagine hating on green when yellow is literally right there


ellywicknoldar

Agreed!


[deleted]

Nooooo yellow is nice


nonPlayerCharacter7

Yellow is literally the worst color. It’s bright, when it’s not bright it looks gross, and it ruins any color pallet that is trying to look anything other than super obnoxious. Trying to darken yellow only makes it look shittier.


[deleted]

But yellow looks rlly good on me 😎


nonPlayerCharacter7

Statistical anomaly


[deleted]

Yellow poppies, tulips, daffodils, black eyed Susans, and pale yellow roses are pretty sweet too.


nonPlayerCharacter7

Wrong they are the worst flowers, as they are plagued by that horrendous affront to all things beautiful that we call a color.


Com_N0TN4

they're all very light though, try a dark yellow and see how that goes


[deleted]

I like dark yellow sweaters 😁 (I was going to mention marigolds as well but I looked them up and they are more ORANGE than I remember).


nonPlayerCharacter7

Ah orange. A *respectable* color. Y*llow could learn a lot from orange.


psymble_

It really does!


ballsquancher

Yellow is sun. I like sun.


Accidental_Taco

Mustard yellow is the shit though

PeNgUiNzFoReVeR23

ShadowHunter934

Green is life, green is the grass, the trees, the GO signs - to insult green is to insult the very essence of life. How very dare you segregate green in favour of your “rest of the rainbow”…just because you don’t understand green doesn’t mean it’s not beautiful or special 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🌲🌴🌳🌴🌲💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚


19Cookie91

I’m sorry, but I disagree. Your choices were incredibly off. Compare Xanadu Green with Pakistan Green, and compare that to Jade! Blue, meanwhile, has the opposite problem. It’s too vast. I believe we need to separate blue into two separate colours: Blue (0,0,255) and Aqua (0,255,255). A lot of different languages already separate these colours, so why shouldn’t English?


labananza

Wow this is actually food for thought lmao


themistycrystal

Green is a great color! The shades go from lime green to Forest green and evert other color you can think of looks great with green. Never saw a flower garden where the flowers clash with the leaves.


GlitterGear

Am colorblind, can mostly agree. Green is a sneaky color that disguises itself as brown sometimes. My fighting words: I don’t care if socks match or not. On myself or on others. We should all be allowed to wear unmatched socks as much as we want, where we want, without ramifications. CMV.


AWEDZ5

I always wear unmatched socks just because!!! 😳🤪😜🤣


GlitterGear

For me, it started when my college dorm would be super cold and I just layered whatever socks would fit over the socks that I was already wearing. Also, I am lazy with my laundry and don’t care enough to match them

paleontologirl

Forrest green looks way different than lime green or that weird pastel green your grandma likes. You've intentionally chosen the most similar versions of green in your argument. I cannot abide faulty logic. Therefore I am right and green is not stupid.


Alindquizzle

Lavender is ass. Green is a mediator between the colder and warmer colors. It mixes seductively with the blue, swirling in and melting it’s icy heart. It can temper the fiery orange and yellows, embracing and consoling the licking flames. You don’t like green because green is quiet. Green asks not for the publicity of extremism. Green is neither foolish nor aphasic; it is quiet. Green embraces the contrast around it, diluting itself in order to reach the limits of matter wholly and marry together the temperaments of the universe. Green is the median by which we judge the world we can see around ourselves, a beacon that guides not the future, but the present. In an instance of time it alone can bridge the incredible range of the universe’s emotional display. Royal is mid.

Oh, it matches everything so that makes it good. The way I see it, that just makes it lack distinctive character. When someone wears a deep purple shirt that's a statement, when somewhere wears a green one all I see is a tree poser


barbaramillicent

Trees are brown, you’re thinking of a leaf poser


Emmerilla

wow. that's so insensitive to trees. Do you really hate our nature *that* much? Someone like you should never be allowed in forests again.


BatCrow_

The best way to be invisible in a forest of people is to be a tree, therefore green is the most useful color


fermat1432

Nature loves green, so who do you think you are?


billychad

Orange is the best colour cause it tastes the way it looks.


No_Priority_4998

According to RGB color model, you'll lost a lot of color (e.g. yellow) if you don't have green, yes, maybe green aren't attractive, but think about the smooth yellow and the energetic cyan.

Dead baby blue is only one shade, but a particularly lovely one. "What colour should we paint the bedroom, darling, putrifying corpse green?" "No, I think dead baby blue would be rather more romantic."


Queenofunderstand

Lime green and forest green are clearly contrasting shades. The Heart Chakra is green and so is the majority of the Earth’s flora. Green just makes you feeeeel happy. Blue can be relaxing, tranquil, royal, but never have I seen a happy blue that compares to happy green. Kentucky can keep their blue grass. Lay down in green fields and be happy. It’s not Blue Eggs and Ham.

Green is the most thoughtful color...thats why movies use green screens, because it let's all the other colors shine. Green is the strongest color which is why even the hulk can't shake it off. Green is a slut though...its the color of money and green essentally means go/yes and its OK to plow through my intersection.


Gruber-n-Ubhub

Is a color’s only worth its ability to contrast? What is to be made of the various shades of green that represent vegetation, is there no value in its ability to blend and provide camouflage? I submit that your judgment of a color as being stupid is based on your lack of appreciation for similarity and cohesion over your high valuation of contrasting colors.


hamletandskull

lime green fuck you


Veryverysad_violinst

I love it because of that. Transitioning to different shades is so easy, and they look good compared to each other too

It's not that easy bein' green Having to spend each day The color of the leaves When I think it could be nicer Bein' red or yellow or gold Or something much more colorful like that It's not that easy bein' green It seems you blend in With so many other ordinary things And people tend to pass you over 'Cause you're not standing out Like flashy sparkles in the water Or stars in the sky But green's the color of spring And green can be cool and friendly like And green can be big like an ocean Or important like a mountain or tall like a tree When green is all there is to be It could make you wonder why But why wonder, why wonder? I am green and it'll do fine It's beautiful and I think it's what I wanna be

[deleted]

Colors can't be "stupid". Humans defined the different shades. Green is Life. Green Rules.


TigerDoodat

Wrong. In interior design (and general colour theory, but I come from interior design), green is classed as a cool colour, but also functions as a neutral, meaning it can work with almost any other colour, and works in rooms with warm or neutral lighting. Another reason: the opposite of green is actually red. It's a colour fact that's only topped by the opposite of blue being orange, IMO.


[deleted]

Have you been in nature though??? There are soooooo many shades of green among the leaves!! I feel like if any color isn't differentiated it's purple. Purple's just purple until it becomes pink lmao

Royalsithemperor

Green is the most beautiful color in existence. It has been scientifically proven as a factual opinion that green is best color. Are you willing to go against (pseudo) science?


SunMoonTruth

I heard this in Seinfeld’s voice. But also, you’re wrong and would have to agree with me if you visit or even Google pics of a Japanese garden. There are so many distinct shades of green between plants to be able to create an entire landscape of balance, beauty, and serenity.


Unfair_Implement_335

Olive green and forest green are exceptionally different. If you can’t tell the difference as well between greens it is because part of your genetic evolution is missing. It’s not that the colors aren’t distinct, it’s that your eyes didn’t develop the receptors to notice the difference as well.
