The Missing Color
The answer is, of course, green.
We are a product of our
environment - the air, the water, the minerals, the
plants, the sunlight. And, just like plants,
biological life is an enfoldment or materialized
reflection of light. The colors we see in the sky are
a product of an octave of light (370Thz - 740Thz)
refracting through an oxygen atmosphere of blue air
and water molecules which, with dust, refract the
light around the color wheel to end at yellow, the
color of our sun. Organic life does the same thing,
only in reverse. Plants absorb all of the colors of
the sky except the frequency band of green, which it
reflects by default while emitting oxygen. In this
way, plants are an extension of the sky and complete
its frequency spectrum. Just as the green leading
tone is pulled up to the cyan tonic, so is the green
plant's oxygen pulled up to the cyan sky. The two
form a standing wave with the yellow sun feeding the
plants which in turn feeds the atmosphere
(A->B->C on the color octave). Biological life
also feeds on plants, but through ingestion and not
directly on their oxygen. Thus, the green frequencies
plants reflect are absorbed by green cones on our
retina weighted toward the center of our visual
spectrum as a survival guide. Just as the plants
complete the color spectrum of the sky, plants
complete the visual spectrum of biological life. A
world full of biological life depends on oxygen which
depends on plants which depends on the sun and this
is all represented in how colors are refracted,
absorbed, reflected and perceived by all things
concerned.
Green could be considered the invisible 90-degree
pivot point. In the color spectrum, its plant life
lies between the yellow sun and the cyan sky.
