History Main / WindIsGreen

* In ''Manga/DemonSlayerKimetsuNoYaiba'', although not real elemental wind powers per Gotouge's own words, Sanemi Shinazugawa's Wind Breathing techniques are depicted as green colored in the Digital Color Edition, and his demon slayer mark is of a dark green color there too. Sanemi is also [[ColorCodedCharacters green-themed in general]] as the Wind Hashira.

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' series, Wind skills tend to be colored green, both during gameplay and in menus. Also, of the main characters, the one who uses Wind skills the most tends to be Vert/Green Heart, who, as the AnthropomorphicPersonification of Microsoft's [[UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} Xbox consoles]], is heavily associated with the color green (as if [[MeaningfulName her name]] wasn't clue enough).

When ElementalPowers are [[ColorCodedElements color-coded]] ([[ColourCodedForYourConvenience for your convenience]]), [[BlowYouAway air and wind]], being invisible and colorless, present a conundrum. Blue, yellow, and red are respectively taken by water, lightning earth, and fire. In occult western symbolism, wind is supposed to be yellow, which as said is already taken by lightning or earth, and the next most likely color, white, may be taken by reserved for some form of WhiteMagic, be it holy, light, or healing.

Compare WaterIsBlue, FireIsRed, and GoldIsYellow. Also compare YellowLightningBlueLightning and YellowEarthGreenEarth. Also see GravityIsPurple, for another colorless "element" which is often associated with a specific color. For another trope based on the same Hindu and Buddhist wind association, see PacifistWind.

* Green mint flavored products such as breathmints and toothpaste, will often be advertized with a cooling breeze to show the one using the product, and the potential buyer, that they have a minty fresh breath.

* Shamal in ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'' series is firmly associated with the air element (her Device is named "Clear Wind" in German, she has wind-themed spells, and one of ther RedBaron-esque titles is "Hand of the Healing Wind"... the other being "Lady of the Lake", go figure) and her magic color is light green/celadon. Her barrier jacket and most of her casual clothing are also mainly green.

* ''Anime/MazingerZ'' BreathWeapon was Rust Hurricane. Mazinger-Z blew a powerful gale of wind from its mouth grill that corroded the enemy into nothingness. At the first chapters that wind was green (although later it got changed to gray). It can be justified, since the wind was charged with corrosive particles could give him that color.
* In ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'', Gaara, now Kazekage ("Wind Shadow") and head of the ninja village for the Land of Wind, has a green headpiece in the cover of manga volume 49. Previously, the piece had been shown as blue.

* It's easy to forget that Sailor Jupiter of ''Franchise/SailorMoon'' seems to share wind powers with Sailor Uranus, since only WordOfGod has said that she can create cyclones and hurricanes. Her [[GreenThumb flower hurricane attack]] in the [[Manga/SailorMoon manga]] demonstrates this, and naturally her image color is green. On the other hand, Uranus's wind powers are represented by golden energy in the first [[Anime/SailorMoon anime]].

* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'' is a mixed case. On the one hand, [[http://magiccards.info/m10/en/42.html creatures]] [[http://magiccards.info/m11/en/50.html of air]] [[http://magiccards.info/m10/en/81.html and wind]] tend to be Blue, as the element itself is technically within Blue's domain, but [[http://magiccards.info/ch/en/34.html spells]] [[http://magiccards.info/10e/en/270.html dealing with]] [[http://magiccards.info/mm/en/243.html summoning]] [[http://magiccards.info/ai/en/86.html powerful winds]] tend to be Green, tying into Green's focus on denying air power to players and creatures. Black and Red wind spells also exist, as well [[http://magiccards.info/tp/en/264.html as at least one]] White wind spell and several White wind related creatures.

* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'': Issues #39-40 have Sonic, Amy and Tails fighting a trio of red, blue and green Eggman robots called Egg Vipers. The red Viper is armed with flame throwers, the blue one is armed with water cannons and the green one uses wind turbines.

* ''VideoGame/Bomberman64TheSecondAttack'' features Ashtarth, one of the members of the Astral Knights, who has the power to control winds and holds the title as The Lord of the Winds. His knight outfit and elemental stone are both green-colored.

* ''VideoGame/{{Culdcept}} Saga'' uses Green to represent Earth and plantlife, whereas wind is represented by yellow, symbolizing the wind rippling through wheat and drybrush. In fact, the elemental land for Air is represented by a wheatfield with a windmill.

* In ''VideoGame/DragaliaLost'', the wind element is color coded green. Quite a few characters attuned with the wind element also have green attire to match.

* Koei's ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' franchise features the Wind element in some games, represented by green energy. Pang Tong used to have a unique wind-element orb attack (most distinct in ''Dynasty Warriors 5'') which is colored an intense green. Several attacks which cause 'air bursts' show them with a white-green burst of energy, and some {{Launcher Move}}s in ''5'' are depicted by a green-white whirlwind, complete with leaves.

* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'': Wind spells in the series are usually colored green, and are cast using green tomes. In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'', the name of the post-timeskip route in which you side with the Golden Deer is called "Verdant Wind," and it's the only route name that doesn't match the house colors[[note]]In the case of the Black Eagles, red is considered the color associated with the Adrestian Empire, so "Crimson Flower" fits[[/note]].

* In ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'', wind based spells and attacks are light green, unlike the rest of the series where it's various shades of grey. This is likely because [[MeaningfulName Ventus]], who specializes in wind magic, is represented by green in the menus. ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories]]'' has the Xaldin enemy card which is used to activate Aero Guard. Aero Guard is a bright green wind-based shield that deals CollisionDamage to enemies, with hits dealt by it being represented by flashes of green light.

** The spell Farore's Wind from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime'' is green, though this has more to do with the spell's namesake, the Hylian goddess Farore, who is always represented by green. [[DummiedOut It's also rumored that the Farore related Forest Temple in the same game was going to have some wind elements during its early development]].

* ''VideoGame/LostMagic'' - the wind runes are all green. The wind magic that comes out are green.

* ''VideoGame/MegaManX4'' gives us the Double Cyclone weapon that fires small whirlwinds or deadly tornadoes with the same minty fresh color. Generally speaking, Wind is purple in the ''X'' series, with the Storm Tornado (VideoGame/MegaManX1) Wind Cutter (VideoGame/MegaManX7) and Wing Spiral (Videogame/MegaManX5) being depicted in purple and white shades.

* Fujin, the god of wind from the ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' series of fighting games has a green theme, with green pants, grey hair with a green tint, green energy attacks and even green bolts shot from his crossbow in [[VideoGame/MortalKombat4 his debuting game]].
* In the ''VideoGame/{{Neptunia}}'' series, Wind skills tend to be colored green, both during gameplay and in menues. Also, of the main characters, the one who uses Wind skills the most tends to be Vert/Green Heart, who, as the AnthropomorphicPersonification of Microsoft's [[UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}} Xbox consoles]], is heavily associated with the color green (as if [[MeaningfulName her name]] wasn't clue enough).

* ''VideoGame/{{Onimusha}}'': the elemental power of Wind and its related weapons are always associated with the color green, as seen with [[VideoGame/OnimushaWarlords Shippu]] and [[VideoGame/Onimusha2SamuraisDestiny Senpumaru]], weapons covered in green aura with a green color motif. The slight exeption is [[VideoGame/Onimusha3DemonSiege Kuga]], which has a different magic, wields the element of "Sky/Air" and is teal rather than fully green.

* ''VideoGame/SagaFrontier'': Gale attack and gale slash have you firing green colored "gales" of wind at the enemies.
* Green Wind-element attacks also appear in ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'', also by Koei. Enemies hit by Wind attacks are shown getting struck by green energy bursts shaped vaguely like a small air vortex, and are thrown high into the air or sent flying to evoke wind power.

** A few games take this a step further by associating the [[BlowYouAway wind users]] themselves with the colour green. This includes the "Aquarius Mask" enemies from ''VideoGame/Persona2'' (Aquarius is a wind sign) and [[PunnyName Gale]] from ''VideoGame/DigitalDevilSaga'' with his green hair, eyes, TronLines etc.

* The ''Final Fantasy''-themed OptionalBoss Culex of Vanda in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioRPG'' brings the Four Crystals into battle with him. No points for guessing which color the Wind Crystal is. Luigi can also sometimes make tornadoes (nevermind how), and the wind is nearly as green as his hat.

* In ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', wind spells are classified as Nature damage (along with lightning, poison and earth), which is represented as green on the character pane. Shamans avert this with the wind being either white or a dusty brown, but played straight with the monk's Spinning Crane Kick and its upgrade Rushing Jade Wind (removing the kick and making it RazorWind), which invokes the jade green coloration of Pandaren's matron of wisdom and healing, Yu'lon.

* In ''WesternAnimation/MeteoHeroes'' Ventum, the super hero with wind controlling powers has a green color scheme.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Ninjago}}'' plays with this. The Green Ninja is a prophecied wielder of a hard to define element that's a combination of Fire, Ice, Lightning, and Earth. Season 5 reveals that Master Wu had a previous student, Morro, who was the elemental Master of Wind, and who he suspected of being the Green Ninja. It didn't turn out to be true, but Morro kept the association with the color green.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{WITCH}}'': Hay Lin is the Guardian of Air. She wears a green top in Guradian form and her transformation sequence features the color green.

* The planet Uranus, which consists mostly of atmosphere (and has no solid parts except for its core), has strong winds, and is named after the Greco-Roman god of the sky, is a turquoise-green color.

* ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'' and ''VideoGame/MegaManZX'' kinda had four elements. There was Fire, Ice, Electric, and Non-elemental. Fire was red, Ice was blue, and Non-elemental was purple, but Electric sometimes also represented Wind. It was yellow when it did represent Electric-based bosses but green when it represented Wind-based bosses.

* In ''Anime/{{Bakugan}}'', Ventus [[note]]Wind element[[/note]] Bakugan are various shades of green, and brawlers who use them tend to wear green too. In the [[Anime/BakuganBattlePlanet reboot]], Ventus Bakugan are still green, but now have the [[YellowEarthGreenEarth earth element]].

* Has shown up at least twice in the ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic'' series. ''[[VideoGame/MegaMan5 5]]'s'' Gyro Man and ''[[VideoGame/MegaMan9 9]]'s'' Tornado Man have green color schemes that extend to their weapons: the Gyro Attack fires green helicopter blades and the Tornado Blow summons a storm of green tornadoes. Additionally, the Tornado Hold (''VideoGame/MegaMan8'') turns Mega Man a teal color. Otherwise, he generally turned some shade of grey or blue and white. However, most of the other wind-based bosses, such as [[VideoGame/MegaMan2 Air Man]], [[VideoGame/MegaMan6 Wind Man]], and [[VideoGame/MegaMan8 Tengu Man]] avert this. Wind Man has ''some'' green on him, though his color scheme is mostly white and orange. Air Man and Tengu Man are mostly blue.

* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': Dust is an energy source that produces ElementalPowers depending on what type it is. Wind Dust is sometimes depicted as green (and sometimes as a greyish-white).
[[/folder]]

* In ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', there are four basic types of [[AppliedPhlebotinum Dust]] heavily implied to be associated with the four classical elements. The Air/Wind Dust is green.

* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': {{Averted|Trope}} by the members of the {{magical girl}} group [[FourElementEnsemble Team Alchemical]] -- Alchemical Air is associated with the color yellow, while the color green instead goes to Alchemical ''Earth''. The reason for this is that Team Alchemical is based specifically on the four elements used in classical Greek UsefulNotes/{{alchemy}}, which commonly ascribes the color yellow to Air [[YellowEarthGreenEarth and the color green to Earth]].

* In ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara 4'', Kyogoku Maria is a sorceress who dresses in green (and yellow/white) and her element is wind.
