Celadon is a color that is a pale tint of spring green. Korean celadon pottery has been described by ancient Chinese artisans as having a quiet elegance whose color is "beyond description," in that it must be experienced to be understood, and its simplicity of form and style has been compared to the spirit of Zen Buddhism.
Myrtle is an immoderately dark shade of green, slightly more so than the color of spinach.
There are many shades of green in our world, and each one has something special to offer. So too are there many different ways to "be green" and each can be appreciated for its uniqueness. While 'greenwashing' - the appearance of being green - can obscure truly unsustainable practices, so can small, seemingly insignificant actions result in profound changes.
