In many cultures’ literature and folklore, green has been utilized to represent nature and its attributes such as rebirth, fertility, and life. In Ancient Egypt, green symbolized immortality and resurrection thus the god Osiris was always depicted as being green-skinned. Green has also become a sign of environmentalism and the British Green Party has appropriated the colour accordingly. In the 19th century, green was the colour traditionally worn by hunters, a shade called ‘hunter green’. This colour eventually changed to an ‘olive drab’ shade of green which was used more so than the ‘hunter green’ in the 20th century.

Green also enjoys associations with love and lust. It was used in the medieval era to represent love and the male natural desires. In China, the term for ‘cuckold’ is “to wear a green hat” because in ancient China a sex worker’s husband bore a green headscarf. In Sudanese and Persian poetry, dark-skinned women were called ‘green’ when they were being eroticized. I wonder if gu 10 bulbs come in green?
