Color Therapy: WHITE

"I will go down with this ship.
And I won't put my hands up and surrender.
There will be no white flag above my door.
I'm in love and always will be."

Dido - White Flag

White means surrender and neutral. It is a sign of peace and innocence. And as the opposites of black, white is related to honesty, perfection, and the good one.
You see the snow and the milk is white. White is produced from the reflection, transmission, or emission of all visible light.

As the miles roll by,

Hangin' over you and I."

Color Therapy: GREEN

"The old home town looks the same as I walk down from the train.

And there to meet me is my Mama and Papa.

Down the road I look and there runs Mary,

hair of gold and lips like cherries.

It's good to touch the green, green grass of home."

Tom Jones - Green, Green Grass Of Home

GREEN is something you can find everyday. Remember the song of Louis Armstrong, What A Wonderful World? He sang that the trees are green. And the song above, from Tom Jones also describes green color the best, Green, Green Grass Of Home. Our world consists many greens of land.

So this is true about what they said.

Green color has wide range of colors. From lime green to turquoise. And you can combine the green with the color you love. Just remember to think about the color proportion. Here are some green color combinations for you.

Green color is fresh and natural. Fresh and young leaves, our nature has primary color green. Green leaves a peaceful and healing sense. That's why, back in the day they said, always back to nature. But sometimes, green also leaves a mystery too.
