Green are the pastures of a popular color

The color green is a serious multitasker. It speaks for St. Patrick's Day and blooming spring, tranquility and jealousy, healthy food and greed all at once.

Long-ago brides preferred it for their gowns, but some women's magazines hated it for their covers. George Washington loved it and champions of Earth claimed it as their own.

It's Shakespeare's salad days and Kermit the frog. It's the room for guests of Leno and Letterman. In 2007, it was the real color of the red carpet at the Grammy Awards.

Is there any other color with such reach?
