Green
Party for environmentalists
Green is the color of grass, leaves, and growing vegetation—positioned between blue and yellow in the spectrum.
By extension, green describes things that are unripe, inexperienced, or naive: a green recruit.
Environmental concerns have claimed the word: green energy, going green, the Green Party.
To be green with envy is to covet intensely.
A green light signals permission to proceed.
She has a green thumb means she's skilled at growing plants. (Capitalized Green is a surname.)
