Reminds me of the class I took in stage lighting. The teacher asked what
the color green could be used to represent. The first suggestions were
forest, trees, life in general, spring, generalizing into rebirth and
spiritual renewal. Then they thought a bit about green lit scenes, and
"cool" emerged. Then envy, jealousy, moonlight. Finally, someone suggested
a green face: death, decay. The point the teacher was making is that color
enhances the meaning of the scene it lights; it doesn't itself establish
any particular meaning. Green can mean anything from life through death,
with a lot of sidetracks along the way.

And I like green. Makes one wonder.
