What color is Green?

What is the meaning of the color Green?
Ancient Egyptians associated green with fertility and rebirth, painting tomb floors green to symbolize new life. In medieval Europe, green dyes were unstable and difficult to fix, making the color a marker of social rank when a lasting green could be achieved. The English word green traces to the Old English grene, rooted in the same Germanic base as the word grow. The environmental movement formally adopted green as its symbol at the first Earth Day in 1970, a use later anchored by the founding of the Green Party in Germany in 1980.
