Thirteen Things About the Color Green1. Green signifies life & renewal.
2. Going green is used to referred to environmental friendliness.
3. Green is a restful color.
4. To the Egyptians green is a sacred color which represents hope & the joy of spring.

7. Green around the gills means someone is pale or sickly.

11. A greenback is US currency.
12. Some say the color green has healing powers.

Red was a much more interesting color...lol! I did my research on the color green at about.com , colormatters.com, and crystallinks.com.
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

Hey look..the word verification is GREEN! How appropriate!
Personally, I think green is a pretty interesting color and you just proved that with you list. Not a color that most people gravitate towards but it is rich and so much fun!
I never knew some of those. Heh. You learn something new everyday!
Stop on by to see my TT. :) Have a good Thursday!
Cool idea about doing something on the color green. There was some new stuff that I learned today.
I'm in Wisconsin too (Menomonee Falls actually).
I love the color green, but I'm not too keen on St. Pat's Day. Odd -- I know.
That's an awesome list! I personally love the color green.
Thanks for leaving me the comment as well!
Green was my school color. Kelly green to be exact. I own four green cheerleading uniforms now :)
It's still a pretty color and I'm so ready for Spring I hope it's green all over soon!
Very fun list! Of course I love it because it ties in to the Celtic thing I'm in to this week.
Thanks for stopping by my TT list.
Interesting list - very informative. Green is probably my second favorite color (after purple). :-)
Happy TT!
Green is good. Natural, soothing, growing color :). Thanks for the visit.
Well I learned something new today - your list was great! I especially like the Egyptian fact.
Thanks for visiting my blog! :)
I like your list. And don't forget Kermit (and Frank Sinatra) singing about how "It's not easy being green." LOL Thanks for commenting on my first T13. Much appreciated!
Nice list!! Personally, I'm not a big fan of green (unless it's in my wallet!) My grade school and high school colors were kelly green/white/gold. After YEARS of wearing it, I haven't touched it since!! Although I do have green eyes.
Thanks for stopping by my first TT!
LOL on #9. If I had to guess I would have thought it meant the track was ready to go for a new season....
I love your lists, I always learn something!
Great post on green!
Terrific Thursday Thirteen!
My TT is posted.
Have a wonderful day!
Happy TT'ing!

great info! thanks for sharing!
Green is my daughters absolute favorite color. I'll have to share these with her :)
Thanks for the link to yours for this week & last. Spring is such a great time for green. I use the "healing" type of green on my wrist as an added protection for something I've broken before.
Plants:
The Shasta Daisy would mix well with my love of the gerber. I have some beareded Iris that I have to plant already...and my cats would probably hurt me if I didn't plant their favorite catmint.
Thanks for the suggestion & the link!
Great list! :)
