230. Man as Symphony of the Creative Word: Lecture IX 04 Nov 1923, Dornach
Tr. Judith Compton-Burnett

Rudolf Steiner
Especially does the sea glitter for them, inwardly and outwardly, in every shade of blue, violet and green. The whole process of decomposition in the sea becomes a glimmering and gleaming of the darker colours up to the green.
297. The Idea and Practice of Waldorf Education: Discussion of Pedagogical and Psychological Questions 08 Oct 1920, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
On the other hand, if the child is surrounded by red, the exciting red color, you know from other lectures that the complementary color is green, the green-bluish complementary color is evoked. The child, when constantly surrounded by red, has to make an effort internally to experience the complementary color internally and is not externally excited.
272. Faust, the Aspiring Human: A Spiritual-Scientific Explanation of Goethe's “Faust”: Faust's Struggle for the Christ-imbued Source of Life 04 Apr 1915, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
The nineties saw the deepening of Goethe's soul, which found its reflection in the well-known “Fairytale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily”. It falls into the time between the moment when “Faust” was published without the Easter scene and the moment when it was published with the Easter scene. Goethe's soul experienced a profound deepening through what it developed in the “Tale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily”. And it was only through this experience that Goethe realized how he could allow the Easter experience scene to affect Faust's soul.
300b. Faculty Meetings with Rudolf Steiner I: Twenth-Ninth Meeting 14 Jan 1922, Stuttgart
Tr. Ruth Pusch, Gertrude Teutsch

Rudolf Steiner
For instance, you could have him draw a top in a number of colors, red, orange, yellow, green, all seven. Then have him try to blend red into this so that he would have to use his intellect in connection with art.
93a. Foundations of Esotericism: Lecture VI 01 Oct 1905, Berlin
Tr. Vera Compton-Burnett, Judith Compton-Burnett

Rudolf Steiner
Let us take as an example a colour which we perceive with our eyes, for instance red or green. In this respect we are receptive beings. The colour must however first be produced in order that we may perceive it; we must therefore be confronted with another being who produces the colour, for instance red.
93a. Foundations of Esotericism: Lecture X 05 Oct 1905, Berlin
Tr. Vera Compton-Burnett, Judith Compton-Burnett

Rudolf Steiner
The forms and colours are different and changing. Green shows sympathy and compassion for one's fellow men. The lower levels of the population show much red in the astral body, brownish red, brick red, blood red.
326. The Origins of Natural Science: Lecture IX 06 Jan 1923, Dornach
Tr. Maria St. Goar, Norman MacBeth

Rudolf Steiner
Now this nascent state is in the outer world, not within. It is what I see when I behold the green tapestry of plants, the world of colors—red, green and blue—and the sounds that are out there. What are these fleeting formations that modern-day physics, physiology and psychology regard only as subjective?
272. Festivals of the Seasons: Easter and Whitsuntide I 04 Apr 1915, Dornach
Tr. Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
About 1790 that expansion of Goethe’s soul took place, which is reflected in the well-known Fairy-tale of The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily. This was written during that period of time extending from the first publication of Faust without the Easter scene, to the Second publication of Faust, which included it. An infinitely profound expansion of Goethe’s soul took place owing to the experience which he has related in the Fairy-tale of The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily. And not until he had undergone this experience, could Goethe understand how he should allow the Easter Resurrection scene to influence the soul of Faust.
53. Fundamentals of Theosophy The Origin of the Earth 09 Mar 1905, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
At that time, the human being was not yet able to associate a colour with an external object, he could not yet see the things coloured. He could not see that an object is green or red; the colour idea did not yet combine with the object. Nevertheless, colours still surged in the human soul.
He used a strange figure, the “old man with the lamp” in his Fairy Tale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily. The lamp can only shine where another light shines. I have shown that as the incarnation of ancient wisdom.
163. Chance, Necessity and Providence: Necessity and Past, Chance and Present 30 Aug 1915, Dornach
Tr. Marjorie Spock

Rudolf Steiner
Palms are replaced at Easter by pussy-willows as the only seasonal green plant available. And because palms, which in the Orient are the obvious plants for decorative purposes, have lent their name as a prefix to such terms as Palm Sunday and Palm Week in characterizations of the festival season, the green willow branches substituted for them have been designated “palm branches” and “palm catkins.”
