What this color evokes
Green is the color of the new leaf, of grass after rain, of everything that starts again. When it shows up in your days, people readily read in it a need for renewal and nature, a wish for a less hurried rhythm. It is also associated with calm and balance, like everything that takes its time to grow.
The site ties green to the number 4, that of foundations and stability, purely by tradition. If green surrounds you these days, look at what in your life asks for roots rather than speed.
What cultures say about it
In the Muslim tradition, green is associated with paradise, which the Quran describes with gardens and green garments, and with the Prophet. The color is therefore tied there to the promise of rest and greenery.

It accompanies the quiet duration of the weeks when one moves forward with no particular event.
