It often symbolises nature and life, health and hope, safety and permission.
But in an exhibition that is Just Green, Splinter Contemporary Artists have created paintings, ceramics and poetry inspired by the secondary colour.
Ceramicist Kaye Poulton shows her artwork Mossy Man.
“Green also wears many other hats,” contributing artist Bev Dowd said.
“You can be green with envy, green about the gills, as green as grass, a greenhorn, a green campaigner or a green voter.
“Or you can give the green light to someone, greenwash something, use green energy, wish for greener pastures, be struck by the green-eyed monster; you can have a green thumb, or a greenback.”

Beside its endless meanings giving inspiration to their art, the artists had a plentiful array of shades to choose from.
“We can see jade green, olive green, moss green, emerald green, bottle green, lime green, pea green, sea green, jungle green, sage green, forest green, mint green, Kelly green, etcetera,” Bev said.
The Just Green exhibition opened at the Kyabram Town Hall Gallery in Allan St, Kyabram, on February 3 and will be shown until the end of April.
The gallery is open from 10am to 4pm from Monday to Saturday. Entry is by gold coin.
All works on show are for sale.
