Green Traffic Light, Photographic Print

Many animals, humans included, camouflage themselves in shades of green in order to blend into green backgrounds.

On traffic lights green means “go”, the opposite of red to “stop” - red and green are complementary, or opposite to one another on the traditional color wheel.

In a subtractive color system Green is a “secondary” color from the blending of the primary hues of Blue and Yellow. Green pigment + White pigment produces tints of lighter greens; Green mixed with Black pigment results in darker shades that appear grayish green. Green + Red pigment produce grayish to reddish browns.
