Greenish

What does it mean, to be green, Referring to color, not politics or emotions. There's some tints or hues, between yellows and blues; With a lot of room, in between, for so many types of green. There are some greens that actually say green: Blue-green, yellow-green, light or dark green. Other greens are just as real, for example: veridian, Verdigris, chartreuse, teal, mantis and harlequin. We've also seen, place names in green: Dartmouth green, India green, forest green Pakistan green, Paris green, sea green, Cal Poly green, Persian green, office green. Plants are mostly green, so many plant colors follow: Artichoke, asparagus, honeydew, and avocado, Apple, fern, lime, mint, olive, shamrock, forest, pistachio... Anyone ever heard of phthalo? What does it mean, to be green? I, personally, get a thrill, out of chlorophyll. All these greenish strengths, are really wavelengths Of reflected light. We define which green is right.
