Green- Green is a "feel good" color. It produces a state of calm in a player as it is very earthen and can be mentally linked to growth and nature. Green in video games, in many cases, is the color of life. When a player sees green, the physiological change can be less threatening or demanding than other vibrant colors. There is less cause to panic or stay on high alert when green is introduced to the visual field and the effect is calming as well as reassuring. In the image above, green is used for an herb, an item used to restore one's health/life circle/meter. It's presence can relieve and calm, for example, a player whose health may be flashing dire red or cautionary yellow. Of further note, when a player's health is full, in the game that was examined, the color of the health circle is a solid, reassuring green. The bulletproof vests and melee vests, which offer protection in the game, are green as well. The color serves to calm and reassure players that they are safe.
