Dia Dhuit

Today is the all too famous Irish holiday: St. Patrick's day. People everywhere wear green either for fun or to celebrate their Irish heritage. I thought that I would honor this holiday by specifically talking about the color green. Since the color green is one of the Irish colors what better thing to talk about than that?

"Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which loveliness arises."
-Pedro Calderon de la barca

Green has always been that color of the world in my opinion. Besides the color blue for the oceans we all think of the color green to represent the land on earth. It is sort of equivalent to a universal color. Aside from the shirt I am wearing today, the plants in my room are also green. Sometimes I don't think that we recognize the colors around us. Do not worry because I am one of those people that often brush the colors of nature aside. However, just within the past few years I have really gotten interested in the colors around me. Color theory fascinates me despite the fact that it is extremely hard to comprehend.

Green is all around us:

• trees
• birds
• kale
• spinach
• lettuce
• lime
• fish

Green is really one of the most unique colors out there due to the fact that so many different shades appear in nature. I love nature and the color green is a symbol of nature in my personal opinion.
With that being said, happy St. Patrick's Day! 🇮🇪
