# How to Sign "Green" in Sign Language

Kermit may say, “It’s not easy being green.” But signing “green” is!

## Signing “Green”

1. Hand shape: Use the dominant hand in a “G” handshape, with the index finger and thumb extended and slightly apart.
2. Hand location: Place the dominant hand in front of your face, palm facing inward.
3. Movement: Shake your dominant hand back and forth.
4. Facial expression: Maintain a neutral facial expression, focusing on clarity of hand movements.

## Note

Many other colors are signed in a similar fashion, including “[blue](/content/asl/blue/index.html),” “[yellow](/content/asl/yellow/index.html),” and “[purple](/content/asl/purplse/index.html).”
