Green has great healing power. It is the most restful color for the human eye; it can improve vision. Green suggests stability and endurance. In heraldry, green indicates growth and hope. Green, as opposed to red, means safety; it is the color of free passage.
According to the Color-Wheel-Pro: Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. A lighter or "fresh" Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety and is directly related to nature, so you can use it to promote 'green' products. While dark green is also commonly associated with money.
Perhaps due to its overwhelming presence in nature, green is also the color that rests most center of the retina in the eye. Thus, when receptor cells in the eye pick up light waves, vision is most receptive to green due to how easy the retina can absorb it. Because of this, green provides an ideal environment for relaxation, concentration and meditation according to the site Creating Emotion Through Color

As the foundation of nature, green ties all of us back to our roots, gives us a feeling of retreat from the normal materialistic, bustling life we lead every day. Green is quieting, refreshing, and reassuring; as the first green buds pop through the white blankets of snow, we are assured of the imminent coming of spring, the season of birth and rejuvenation.
Green is also commonly associated with the perception of Luck, such as four leaf clovers.
