I’ll admit, green is not my favorite color. So when I got the newsletter from dear friends
Leigh and Meredith, the talented owners of Moonlight Design (www.moonlightdsgn.com)
here in Raleigh, and saw that March’s color was green, I started to skip over it.
But then my eye was caught by the statement that people who like the color
Green are: "usually gentle and sincere, they like peace, harmony and balance.
Greens are generally frank, community minded and sociable. They are also
modest and patient, so they can be exploited by others. They are also
refined, civilized and reputable.”
Well, I think I see a lot of myself in that description (however, my
friends and family would argue against any characterization of me being patient!!).
But in addition to tall the nice things listed, green is also associated with jealousy
(“green with envy”), naivety or inexperience (“green on the job”) and don’t forget,
the Incredible Hulk turned green with uncontrolled rage.
The topic intrigued me and I surfed the net and found a site with more information:

Is our choice of color really a glimpse into our true being? Are we different
colors at different stages in our lives? Maybe even depending on the circumstances
like at home versus work? Maybe I am little Red as well: “the color chosen by
someone outgoing, aggressive, vigorous and impulsive.” Or would my family
call me purple?: “Temperamental, expansive and artistic, a Purple person may
become aloof and sarcastic when misunderstood”.
We all seek insights into our behavior and how others see us. What color day
are you having?
