Carriage

A carriage is a two- or four-wheeled horse-drawn vehicle for passengers. Coaches are a special category within carriages; they are enclosed carriages with four corner posts and a fixed roof. From the early modern period until the rise of railways and motor vehicles, carriages were a principal means of road transport, with models ranging from simple vehicles to elaborate ceremonial coaches used by royalty. Although largely replaced by mechanized transport, carriages remain in use for ceremonial occasions, tourism, equestrian sport, and in some communities as everyday transport. Modern carriages have been redesigned and manufactured for sports such as combined driving and for tourist transport.

Green

Green is the color between cyan and yellow on the visible spectrum. It has 295–350 different shades. It is evoked by light which has a dominant wavelength of roughly 495–570 nm. In subtractive color systems, used in painting and color printing, it is created by a combination of yellow and cyan; in the RGB color model, used on television and computer screens, it is one of the additive primary colors, along with red and blue, which are mixed in different combinations to create all other colors. By far the largest contributor to green in nature is chlorophyll, the chemical by which plants photosynthesize and convert sunlight into chemical energy. Many creatures have adapted to their green environments by taking on a green hue themselves as camouflage. Several minerals have a green color, including the emerald, which is colored green by its chromium content.
