The clouds in the sky move with a flow, As the hues of the sky turn indigo. Up above, the moon takes on a comforting glow, The night air's wind is beginning to blow. A loud whine signals the start of the show. Blue, green, yellow and red, Light up the sky, reaching out as they spread. Fireworks pop off together until the finale comes to a head, The once indigo sky is now smokey grey instead. Before soon, the evidence of the show was gone, leaving not even a shred.

The name for indigo actually comes from the ancient dye of the same name, with 'indicum' in Latin meaning 'Indian'. Makes sense since the dye was transported to Europe from India. It was added to the color spectrum of the rainbow by Sir Isaac Newton and can often include shades of blue! It is a very inclusive color. Solve the letter tiles puzzle below to see one place where you can spot the indigo color. Click here for a bigger picture.

The sky’s too quiet, a fading shade of blue, Like the echo of words that we never knew. I walk on the beach with the impending rain on my mind, Looking for answers that I could never find. The blue of the sky changes too soon, leaving me cold, Like a story untold or a memory sold. Without you, the ocean is silent, and the stars barely glow, And the blue in my heart seems never to let go.

Terre Verte, also known as “Green earth pigment”, is produced from clay containing the minerals glauconite and celadonite. It has been used for centuries, first being used by ancient Egyptions to colour pottery. It was also used in works by the ancient Romans, including it being discovered in the ruins of Pompeii. It received a revival during the Renaissance era, with artist such as Michelangeloand da Vinci routinely using it, as it was a very versatile colour. It was particularly useful as an undertone for “flesh tones”, as using the Terre Verte as a base neutralised the effects of pink and red, creating a more realistic skin tone.

The color Emerald Green was very popular in the 19th century, whether in the form of dyes for clothing or as a paint color. It was relatively inexpensive to produce at the time, and with green being a challenging color to achieve, it was ideal to keep the ingredients consistent. A report in 1822 revealed the toxicity of the ingredients used to make the color, specifically the high levels of arsenic in it. However, it remained widely sold and worn due to mass production and the color's popularity. The original composition of the pigment that contained arsenic wasn't banned until the early 1900s, and even after it was banned, it remained popular, with many pieces of art created with the paint color in the following years.

Beedle the Bard authored a book of children's stories, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, where he weaved many of his beliefs and values into the narratives. Some of the values he held in high regard, shown in his book, are kindness and integrity. He also expressed tolerance for Muggles in the tales, which was unlike the consensus of the other witches and wizards from the 15th century. The book became a literacy classic after it hit the shelves of bookstores around the world, which gave him enough time and money to travel. He spent a few years traveling from country to country, spending time in both wizarding and Muggle society. He returned home after he gathered some lifelong memories and a new inspiration for another book, but he didn't return empty-handed. Beedle the Bard had found love abroad, a young Muggle woman, to whom he had on his arm when he returned, which led to newspaper headlines of controversy and criticism for weeks.

Green is one of the colors that seems to be tied closest to nature. For me, it means my plants and the little veranda garden that I have mostly for my herbs and small vegetables. It is not that difficult to upkeep, most of the work is keeping my cats from getting their paws on cherry tomatoes. For this week's remembrance, discuss what the color green means to you. Share a photo of a green object that means something to you (no identity revealing details, please!), or make a collage of meaningful green items using images from the internet. Either way you do it, please include at least two sentences on why you have chosen that particular object or objects. Post your musings on the color green below by 11:59 pm HOL-time on June 30th to earn 10 rubies.

Green is everywhere. You can find it in lush forests, rolling hills, minty sweets, sea glass, and even school robes. Each shade of green has its own history, especially those that were man-made. Some were once so rare they were worn only by royalty or made from surprising (and sometimes dangerous!) ingredients. Others became tied to nature, healing, or even magic. Choose one of the shades of green below and write a historical piece on it in at least 100 words. If you choose the same shade as someone else, please make sure to include some different information.

One of the things we associate green with is the emotion of jealousy. It’s given us some striking sayings, including “the green-eyed monster” which seems to have been invented by William Shakespeare. But what if the monster was more than a clever metaphor? What would it look like if it really existed? And how did it get its reputation for envy? Let’s find out! You can either show us your interpretation of the green-eyed monster as a graphic (keep it to 600x600 pixels or less and upload to an image sharing website, please) or you can write a story about how it became associated with jealousy in 100 words or more.
