It's Monday and after mucho trabajo my brain is having itself a semi-fried kinda life (baby, baby). So we're leaving today's post in the hands of Michel Pastoureau, French professor of medieval history and author of Green: The History of a Color, in which he lists the complicated symbolic meanings associated with the color vert:
- The color of destiny, luck, and fortune; of money, of chance, of hope
- The color of nature, ecology, hygiene, health, freshness
- The color of youth, of the sea that raises, of liberalism
- The color of permission, freedom
- The color of the Devil and of the strange
- The color of acid, which stings and poisons
I like lists, I like knowing weird, useless information, I like the color green, and I like being able to say (with authority now, thanks to Mr. Pastoureau) that when one wears the color green one figuratively and literally dons a fresh-to-death look with devilish vibes. Time to add some more vert to your vestido - good thing I did some leg work for you with the looks below.
