Green plants
Probably one of the most common colours of plant in the world, due to the chlorophyll in most plants giving it a green colouring. Shades of green in plants are as varied as any other colour and you can have tones ranging from deep jade to light mint.
One of the most well-known green plants is aloe, which is used in countless beauty and medicinal products around the world. Plants that grow vegetables also fall into this category, with popular ones such as asparagus and spring onion grown in gardens everywhere.
