Fifty Shades of Chlorophyll
No colour has more synonyms than forest green, and no forest uses fewer than all of them.
Stand in old woodland and count the greens: lime where sun strikes new leaves, bottle-dark in the hollows, silver-green on the moss side of trunks, a yellow-green haze where the canopy thins. Paint companies have named perhaps forty of these. The forest declines to standardise.
The photographs here are immersions rather than views — taken inside the woods, looking up through layers, or along paths that bend out of sight the way good paths should.
Green screens are said to rest the eye, and for once the folklore is close to the physiology. Whether or not it measurably calms you, it certainly will not add anything to your pulse.
