Verdigris (copper acetate) gave medieval manuscripts many of their greens; it was unstable, eating through parchment over centuries. Terre verte (green earth) was used for under-painting flesh in the Italian tradition.

Modern green pigments are remarkably stable.
Green is closely associated with Islam — it appears on the flags of many Muslim-majority nations and on the Green Dome in Medina. In Ireland green is national identity, partly through the shamrock and partly through the political binary with orange. In Old Japanese a single word, ao, covered both blue and green; the 'go' traffic light is still officially ao, and since 1973 has been set to a bluish shade of green.

Starbucks moved its logo from the original 1971 brown to green in 1987. John Deere's green and yellow has marked its machines for more than a century. U.S. banknotes have been printed in green since the 1860s; the Bureau of Engraving and Printing says no one can say for certain why green was first chosen, but it kept the color for the 1929 small-size notes because the pigment was plentiful, durable, and associated with the government's stable credit.

Green sits near the peak of the eye's daylight sensitivity — the photopic luminosity curve peaks at 555nm. At low saturation it reads as natural, calm, premium (sage, olive). At high saturation it reads as urgent or playful. It carries one of the strongest semantic loads in product design: 'success', 'go', 'natural', 'safe'.
An almost luminous high-key tone — at this saturation and brightness, the color borders on neon. Use sparingly; it overpowers most companions.
Lightness band: At this lightness the hue almost recedes into the surface around it — useful for backgrounds, hover states, and any surface where the color should suggest a mood without competing with content.
Saturation band: At this saturation the color is doing work. It reads as a brand statement, a sport accessory, or a UI signal. It should be used in small, deliberate doses against quieter neighbors; large fields at this saturation will exhaust the eye.
