351. Cosmic Workings In Earth and Man: Effects of Substances in the Cosmos and in the Human Body 27 Oct 1923, Dornach
Translated by Mabel Cotterell, Dorothy S. Osmond, V. E. Evans

Rudolf Steiner
The chief colours are to be seen in the rainbow: violet, blue, green, yellow, then orange and then red, in order. These are the colours of the rainbow. Nature creates these colours in the rainbow, but man can also create them by admitting just a tiny shaft of light through the window of a dark room.
52. Epistemological Foundation of Theosophy II 04 Dec 1903, Berlin

Rudolf Steiner
Science seems to have proved irrefutably that there are only the oscillations of the ether if we feel green or blue that we sense tone by the aerial oscillations. The contents of the next lecture will show how it is in reality.
57. The Four Temperaments 04 Mar 1909, Berlin
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
In much the same way that blue and yellow combine to give green, the two streams in the human being combine to yield what is commonly known as temperament. Our inner self and our inherited traits both appear in it.
28. The Story of My Life: Chapter XXX
Translated by Harry Collison

Rudolf Steiner
[ 1 ] The decision to give public expression to the esoteric from my own inner experience impelled me to write for the Magazine for August 28, 1899, on the occasion of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of Goethe's birth, an article on Goethe's fairy-tale of The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily, under the title Goethes Geheime Offenbarung.1 This article was, of course, only slightly esoteric.
68a. The Essence of Christianity: Germanic and Indian Secret Doctrine 22 Apr 1906, Munich

Rudolf Steiner
Secondly, the people do not create poetry in the way that the gentlemen at the green table of scholarship imagine it. The people do not personify natural phenomena. Thus, the saga of Indra, which tells of how he set out with seven priestly sages to reclaim a number of cows that had escaped him to culture, was interpreted as if the god Indra personified the dawn and the seven cows personified darkness.
100. Theosophy and Rosicrucianism: The Earth's Passage Through Its Former Planetary Conditions 24 Jun 1907, Kassel
Translator Unknown

Rudolf Steiner
You obtain a right conception of the Sun-atmosphere if you imagine a thick, chemical gas, no longer representing a merely reflecting body, but one which absorbed everything which, came raying towards it, and after having transformed it, reverberated it in the same way in which plants now reverberate colours. The plant forms its green colour and other substances and returns them to the cosmic spaces. That which lived upon the ancient Sun cannot be compared with an echo, nor with a reflected image, as in the case of Saturn, in regard to the beings embodied upon the Sun, we come across a phenomena which can only be compared with a kind of Fata Morgana, with atmospheric phenomena resembling coloured pictures.
97. Parsifal 29 Jul 1906, Landin
Translated by Mary Adams

Rudolf Steiner
For we have to recognize that a deep connection exists between the power that manifests when the Earth clothes herself with her robe of green, and the divine creative power. The pupils in the initiation school were taught as follows: “All around you in nature you see the opening flower buds, and within them a power at work which is then later concentrated in the small grains of seed.
101. Occult Signs and Symbols: Lecture III 15 Sep 1907, Stuttgart
Translated by Sarah Kurland, Gilbert Church

Rudolf Steiner
You see, for instance, a red cloth spread out on the table and visualize at the same time that green is hidden in it. In this way you have accomplished what in the Pythagorean sense is called “The division of the One so that the rest is preserved.”
217. The Younger Generation: Lecture I 03 Oct 1922, Stuttgart
Translated by René M. Querido

Rudolf Steiner
—The revealed secret. (From the Fairy Tale of the Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily.) But it has to be revealed through eyes being opened to perceive it.
221. Earthly Knowledge and Heavenly Insight: Man as a Citizen of the Universe and Man as an Earthly Hermit II 10 Feb 1923, Dornach

Rudolf Steiner
If you just think about it, you have to say: Yes, down there is the earth with its many things (see drawing page 70, white and green). These many things have been seen by the old cognizers. But they only believed they had grasped them in the right sense by looking up at the stars and bringing down the rays from the stars, which illuminated everything for them in the right way (red).
