    Best answer

    Green is my favorite color. As nature around us seems in green. Everywhere the green trees and plants in the fields, on the mountains, along the banks of rivers and canals just add beauty to the world. I think this is the green which gives more charm, beauty and attraction to other colors as well. Just imagine a white jasmine flower or a pink rose. How beautiful they look!. We can't see this beauty without green. Moreover, this is the color of spirit and makes me spiritual. I just love this color.
