Green gives a feeling of renewal, new life, freshness, growth and clarity. The heart is the center of the soul and it is the heart that makes us one with our fellow man. Most importantly, it harbors love energy, the leading principle of life. Being with loved ones, family, and friends, strengthens the heart energy. Made up of the blue and yellow, green is regarded as a center of harmony.
In using green we must accept and allow love in our hearts and learn to give it without expecting anything in return. When our heart center is balanced, we are able to give positive feelings and happiness, unconditionally.

Chartreuse
Chartreuse is a color between yellow and green that was named because of its resemblance to the green color of one of the French liqueurs called green chartreuse, introduced in 1764.
Similarly, chartreuse yellow is a yellow color mixed with a small amount of green that was named because of its resemblance to the color of one of the French liqueurs called yellow chartreuse, introduced in 1838.
Yellow is perceived when the yellow-green cone receptors of the eye are proportionately more stimulated than that of the blue-green receptors. The eye is most sensitive to green light because green stimulates two of the three kinds of cones, L and M (so called because of their sensitivity to low and medium human-visible wavelengths, respectively), almost equally.
The term chartreuse is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as: “A shade of color resembling a pale apple-green”.
Metaphysically, These shades of lime, avocado or olives can be used as a color of manifesting, as it has the power from green and the brilliance from yellow to bring whatever it is you want in your life.
When you need to re-coup your losses, chartreuse is wonderful for showing you the power of growth and the humility of yellow.
Reunions are encouraged by the power of this color, as it is used to bring people together in unusual ways. By appealing to the masses when relating stories or gathering your will to communicate, it will end frustrations and be sure all your needs are met.
Chartreuse is a rewarding color, helping you to receive what you are due.
