According to Wiki experts and MIT scientists : Human eyes have color receptors known as cone cells, of which there are three types. In some cases, one is missing or faulty, which can cause color blindness, including the common inability to distinguish red and yellow from green, known as deuteranopia or red”green color blindness. Green is restful to the eye. Studies show that a green environment can reduce fatigue.

GREEN – The term is unique in its appeal similar to many of the colors that nature bestows on us. According to Greenmaven team The Green color symbolises peace, flourishing vegetation and abundance. The perception of green is evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 520to 570 nanometre. The sensitivity of the dark-adapted human eye is greatest at about 507 nm, a blue-green color, while the light-adapted eye is most sensitive about 555 nm, a slightly yellowish green; these are the peak locations of the rod and cone (scotopic and photopic, respectively) luminosity functions.

Go Green is again a term that has been extensively used by political parties and non profit organizations alike in the last decade or so to spread the word about preservation, eco-friendly awareness, renewable energy sources and recycled use of natural products. In the present IT era LCD monitors are fast replacing CRT monitors in order to save the energy consumption units around the world and reduce eye strains of millions of viewers. A web page with a white background uses approximately 74 watts that compared to 59 of Black on the computer screen. All the other wavelengths fall in between and vary in power saving units.

While this difference in energy consumption is minimal when compared to individual user on a per month basis, but with more and more PCs and laptops making way into mankind in this century, A general protocol across all the users across the world can create a significant saving in terms of energy watts used by the monitors and display devices.
