Mikado Green

Mikado (game)

Mikado is a pick-up sticks game of European origin, played with a set of same-length sticks which can measure between 17 and 20 cm. One of the oldest preserved sets of Mikado game sticks dates back to the 17th century. The game's origins are likely Eastern, as evidenced by the existence of preserved game sets from that region.

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.
