Green websites

Green is the color of nature, grass and leaves. It has associations with life, youth and richness.

Green is often associated with safety (as opposed to the color red). In traffic lights, for example, green stands for 'going', while red means the opposite.

In web design, the color green is widely used by environmental organisations or for environmentally friendly products, such as green electricity or the recycling of raw materials. The color is sometimes combined with purple, which is the complementary color of green. For a more natural or organic look, green is often combined with beige or brown.
