There’s always a big argument going on in my head about whether God’s favorite color is blue or green. Think about it.

The vast sky appears blue; water often appears blue too, particularly when the sun shines on it. And given that the majority of the earth’s surface is water, there’s the potential for a great amount of blue. Throughout the year from season to season, blue is constant; except that the blue of sky and water are reflections and not true colors.

At the same time, there’s the potential for a great amount of green. When trees bud and flowers bloom and fields ripen, the amount of green across the land is insatiable. It throbs and expands, most often between May and September, then it wanes. In winter where I live, green is a rare visitor, except for evergreens that dot the landscape.

So which wins?

As much as I personally prefer blue I think that scientifically I need to side with green. The reason is because it is usually true in nature and not dependent on light or air to make it be what it is. Blue, on the other hand, is deceiving, since such ethereal things can affect it.

It’s a rhetorical question at best, since humans don’t really have to choose between blue and green. Yet, I wonder what the Maker of the Universe had in mind when he or she tinkered with the primary colors.
