ColorCollectGreen scavenger hunt: 18 things to find
Green is the color of everything alive — leaves, lawns, moss between cobblestones. It signals safety and permission (green lights, exit signs) and calm in equal measure, which is why a walk hunting green almost always ends somewhere leafy.

How to hunt green
The trap with green is that plants are almost never the green you think they are — leaves skew yellow, dark, or grey depending on the light. Painted green (gates, benches, signage) is far more reliable, and an exit sign is the single most dependable green in any building.
What green gets confused with
Lime is green turned neon, forest is green turned nearly black, and mint is green with milk in it. If your find looks bluish, you have probably got teal.
