Editing Green (section)

=== Calm, tolerance, and the agreeable ===
Surveys also show that green is the color most associated with the calm, the agreeable, and tolerance. Red is associated with heat, blue with cold, and green with an agreeable temperature. Red is associated with dry, blue with wet, and green, in the middle, with dampness. Red is the most active color, blue the most passive; green, in the middle, is the color of neutrality and calm, sometimes used in architecture and design for these reasons.{{efn|
For an example of the use of green in architecture, see the article on the [[Science Faculty building, UTS|University of Technology, Sydney Science Faculty building]].

Blue and green together symbolize harmony and balance.{{sfn|Heller|2009|p=90}} Experimental studies also show this calming effect in a statistical significant decrease of negative emotions<ref>
