Green And: Through the exhibition and related programming, The Green House will explore developments in sustainability and will provide an informative overview of this dynamic design movement.
This exhibition will take a look at some questions home-owners often ask when considering a green home or product, including: What makes a product green?
How is a green home healthier, safer, and more comfortable? and How much does it cost to 'go green?'
Because Clerk Maxwell added red, green, and blue light together, this technique is called additive. An equal adŽdition of the three colors forms white; red and green add to form yellow; red and blue, magenta; green and blue, the blue-green known by photographers as cyan. It is important to bear in mind that this theory holds true only for colored light; the mixture of pigments is anŽother matter.See Also Green Foliage:Eleocharis acicularis (grass hair) has fine, grass-like leaves which form underwater colonies that cannot be seen from above, while Myriophyllum aquaticum (parrot's feather) is a feathery plant with spreading, blue-green foliage. The foliage of M. spicatum (spiked milfoil) is much-divided and held on long, slender stems, coppery-green turning bronze, and Potamogeton crispus (curled pondweed) has seaweed-like bronzed and green shiny foliage.
The most popular hedging cypress, Chama.ecypa.ris lawsoniana (Lawson cypress), has rather ferny, green foliage and will make good hedges up to 1 Oft high. It's quick-growing, hardy and tolerates most soils. There are numerous varieties of this cypress, some with lighter green foliage, some blue-green and some golden, all suitable for hedges either by themselves or in mixtures. Leyland cypress, x Cupressocyparis leylandii, resembles Lawson cypress but grows almost twice as fast.
On The Other Hand See Palest Green Creates:A high dado rail around the room - a classic Thirties feature - divides up the walls, and different coloured paints draw attention to it. Above, the walls are white, while below a thin strip of palest green creates a pretty border around the room. Thirties interiors often features borders and lines of paintwork, which have the effect of framing a room. The green chosen here matches the green on the original Dresser -a nice touch. Below is a soft cream - warm, sunny, practical.
Three key colours combine in this room. The warm olive green of the walls creates a soft, natural backdrop, perfect with all the golden wood that's set against it. Touches of cream add freshness without jarring or losing the soft, inspired-by-nature feel.
