I find the meaning of colours quite an interesting topic. It is very important to consider this when designing something e.g. If making a bright, positive number the colours black, purple or maroon would not be appropriate. So I researched the meanings of each colour:
Yellow - Yellow is sunshine. It is a warm color that, like red, has conflicting symbolism. On the one hand it denotes happiness and joy but on the other hand yellow is the color of cowardice and deceit.
Yellow is one of the warm colors. Because of the high visibility of bright yellow, it is often used for hazard signs and some emergency vehicles. Yellow is cheerful.
For years yellow ribbons were worn as a sign of hope as women waited from their men to come marching home from war. Today, they are still used to welcome home loved ones.
Green - Life and Renewal, the Nature and Culture of Green:
Green is life. Abundant in nature, green signifies growth, renewal, health, and environment. On the flip side, green is jealousy or envy (green-eyed monster) and inexperience. Green is a restful color with some of the same calming attributes of blue. Like blue, time moves faster in a green room.
Because of all the green in nature the color is reminiscent of Spring.
Overall both these colours represent something good and bad, but in my case I am going to focus on the good side of these.
