If you look past cities of chrome, steel and concrete, you will see the color green everywhere. It is the predominant color in nature. Set against the brown and grey bedrock that is the mineral earth, green is the vibrant contrasting color of life.
Green is most obvious in plants, leaves on trees, and grass underfoot, which get their colors from the presence of chlorophyll. However it is also present in animals, lizard, amphibians, and insects, which evolved these features as a way of camouflaging with the predominant foliage. Even the waves of the ocean take on a green tint in the right light, and the waters of a still pond can become coated in a blanket of olive toned algae.
