Colors in Photography: Everything You Need To Know About the Color Green
Summary
We are willing to leave the comfort of our cities and hike through wind and rain to high hills for views of endless greenery. Green elements do not distract from the main theme of the photo but give the image a sense of freshness and vitality at the same time. The Middle Ages and the Renaissance built on the ancient use of the color green and added objects associated with wealth and higher social status. Merchants, bankers, and nobles wore green, as we can see in the famous painting of the Arnolfini Marriage by Jan Van Eyck. They prioritized feelings and emotions over the realism of representation, and for many, it became a favorite practice to paint landscapes quickly and immediately, trying to capture the fleeting moment in a flurry of colors and brushstrokes.
