Green Man can?

I had a little walk recently when something caught my eye recently. It was a movie poster attached to the wall of a shop. The movie was the 3rd part of Shrek which was released a while ago. The DVDs and VCDs are out so my eldest pestered me to get them. I relented because my little girl had just covered her eyes with her hands. Well, movie posters this size can be scary, you know. It certainly felt as if it is towering over you. Hmm Shrek is supposed to be a gentle creature but the colour and look of it's monstrous size made it a bit intimidating.

Has anyone ever wondered why they used green for monstrous figures? Incredible Hulk had that colour too, you know. And when he wasn't angry, he was a gentle being too. Aren't green supposed to be friendly colours? Like nature, growth and a whole lot of welcoming money too.

Green is a colour that some colour blinds can't register. Do you know what colour do they see? So what happens to our Mr Green Man then. Is he more frightening if he is all Red?
