Green symbolism : All details ..help from Google.


********************


The color green is the color of balance,
harmony and growth

This is the color of balance and harmony. From a color psychology perspective, it is the great balancer of the heart and the emotions, creating equilibrium between the head and the heart.

From a meaning of colors perspective, green is also the color of growth, the color of spring, of renewal and rebirth. It renews and restores depleted energy. It is the sanctuary away from the stresses of modern living, restoring us back to a sense of well being. This is why there is so much of this relaxing color on the earth, and why we need to keep it that way.

Green is an emotionally positive color, giving us the ability to love and nurture ourselves and others unconditionally. A natural peacemaker, it must avoid the tendency to become a martyr.

It loves to observe, and therefore relates to the counselor, the good listener, the social worker. It loves to contribute to society. It is the charity worker, the good parent and the helpful neighbor.

Being a combination of yellow and blue, green encompasses the mental clarity and optimism of yellow with the emotional calm and insight of blue, inspiring hope and a generosity of spirit not available from other colors.

This is a color that has a strong sense of right or wrong, inviting good judgment. It sees both sides of the equation, weighs them up, and then usually takes the moral stand in making appropriate decisions. On the negative side, it can be judgmental and over-cautious.

Green promotes a love of nature, and a love of family, friends, pets and the home. It is the color of the garden lover, the home lover and the good host.

It is generous and loves to share, but it also looks for recognition. It is friendly and can keep confidences.

This color relates to stability and endurance, giving us persistence and the strength to cope with adversity.

Green is the color of prosperity and abundance, of finance and material wealth. It relates to the business world, to real estate and property. Prosperity gives a feeling of safety to green.

On the negative, the color green can be possessive and materialistic, with a need to own people and things.

Such a lovely Post Deepa - Very fascinating!!!
But I do not know - how does it look JADE GREEN??? - can you please explain me a bit more !!!

Aastha's personality in many scenes dictates green colour!!!!


She has been wearing green colour in many times!!!

During wedding first time Aastha was wearing a yellow colour with olive green border saree and after that she was wearing a grass green Saree !!!

However it seems to me - WEDDING dress in Marathi culture has to be with touch of green or full green and married lady has to wear green bangles as symbol of marriage - symbol of wealth prosperity / balance/ love for family/ fertility !!!!!

One thing I can clear remember that ADITI presented Aastha yellowish green bangles - which made SHLOK very angry and upset !!!!! - probably it symbolizing ADITI's desire to create conflict between SHLOK & AASTHA - it also sifnifies the immaturity of their relationship and mentality .

Now Aastha wears grass green bangles - she is more mature , family lover/ committed to relationship/ committed to earn money/ business minded !!!!

Shlok presented her a grass green colour Saree in Kolapur - signifying regenerating relationship/ love/ his possessiveness about Aastha may be passion and desire as green also signifies fertility!!!


I was fascinated by the various shades of green colour sarees worn by three Agni women and MANSI during VRATH ( fasting for husbands) :: - I was expecting someone may explain the meaning of these different shades in view of individual personality or mental make up!!!
