Green

Green is associated with nature. It is a very soothing color that symbolizes growth, freshness, and hope. It’s much easier on the eyes, and far less active, than yellow, orange, or red. Although many web site designs that use green appeal to visitors’ sense of nature, green is a very versatile color. When bright green is set against a black background, it really pops, and gives the design a tetchy feel. For me, it brings back memories of my first computer, a trusty old Apple IIe, the display of which is shown in Figure 2.4.
