This week at my site sit I thought about the colors that occur in nature and the colors that are used to mirror nature in advertisements and environmental propaganda. 

I took a picture that I took on the way to my site sit:

 

and uploaded it to Photoshop. 

From there I went to the color picker tool and selected three colors: 

#F1FFF7 : From the sky

#2D451E: Middle of the Trees

#415E20: Grass 

and took to the internet to see if any of those colors have been used in logos 

It proved to be a long shot, because I couldn't find many things that had those same colors, which I figured might be the case, but it was interesting how many companies used green in logos that had something to do with the environment.
