Varieties of the color green may differ in hue, chroma (also called saturation or intensity) or lightness (or value, tone, or brightness), or in two or three of these qualities. Variations in value are also called tints and shades, a tint being a green or other hue mixed with white, a shade being mixed with black. A large selection of these various colors is shown below.
Green is common in nature, especially in plants. Many plants are green mainly because of a complex chemical known as chlorophyll which is involved in photosynthesis. Many shades of green have been named after plants or are related to plants. Due to varying ratios of chlorophylls (and different amounts as well as other plant pigments being present), the plant kingdom exhibits many shades of green in both hue (true color) and value (lightness/darkness). The chlorophylls in living plants have distinctive green colors, while dried or cooked portions of plants are different shades of green due to the chlorophyll molecules losing their inner magnesium ion.
Sunday morning, garden colors
Tripping over every moment
As they come fast like racing birds
Swirling for the gathering
Little children being golden
Hanging on to window dreaming
Don't tell them lies, don't deceive them
They rise now from the daisy fields
Oh, let the color river flow
Close your eyes, let it rise inside of you
Oh, sit beside me now darling
Oh, we're gonna see a change
Won't be long now before it turns
These heavy days of prophet tales
All shameless rhyme and remedy
Leave behind us when we sail
Let the color river flow
Close your eyes, let it rise inside of you
Oh, sit beside me now darling
Oh, we're gonna see a change
You're inner mind, there's more to feel
Out to the stars, there's more to feel
Don't let go of your lover's hand
Everything may soon be over
Oh, let the color river flow
Close your eyes, let it rise inside of you
Oh, sit beside me now darling
Oh, we're gonna see a change
Let the color river flow
Close your eyes, let it rise inside of you
Oh, sit beside me now darling
Oh, we're gonna see a change
Let the color river flow
Close your eyes, let it rise inside of you
Sit beside me now darling
