wavelength:: 495-570 nm
emotion:: joy
the center of the visible spectrum. peak of human visual sensitivity
evolutionary signal: vegetation, photosynthesis, fertility, safety, abundance
properties
the eye has more green-sensitive cones than any other — maximum discrimination in this range
lowest visual fatigue — the most restful color
the color of chlorophyll, the molecule that converts sunlight to life
in nature
photosynthesis: the process that makes Earth habitable. green is the color of life itself

growth: shoots, sprouts, new leaves — green is the color of becoming
in prysm
confidence, success, health, growth, confirmation
the default positive state — what cyb feels like when everything works
the deepest binding
chlorophyll absorbs red and blue, reflects green — the color of life is the wavelength life rejects
photosynthesis converts solar energy into chemical energy. computation converts solar energy into knowledge
the isomorphism between these two processes makes green the natural color of intelligence
