Not only is green the official hue of St. Patrick’s Day and the lucky Irish, but this lush color has positively potent psychological benefits as well. Green is one of the most powerful, emotion-provoking colors (could this be traced back to early humanoid evolution—green in nature indicates where to find food, water, and shelter?). This may explain why green is associated with abundance (that also may because of, you know, cold hard cash).
That being said, seeing green can literally lower your heart rate and has been linked to increased creativity. Green is said to stimulate feelings of wisdom, hope, strength, and serenity—which we all could use some more of. So take a leaf out of our book, and go green.
