What Does Forest Green Mean?
Forest Green is the color of life itself. It dominates the natural world, and the human eye can distinguish more shades of forest green than of any other color — a legacy of our evolution among forests and grasslands. Forest Green universally represents growth, renewal, health and permission ("green light"). It is also the color of money and prosperity in much of the world, giving it a unique double meaning of nature and wealth.
