Lemon & Green

Lemon and green creates the Henri Matisse Fauvist chromatic revolution combination — because Henri Matisse (1869–1954, Le Cateau-Cambrésis, Nord, France, one of the three most celebrated painters of the 20th century alongside Pablo Picasso and Paul Cézanne, pioneer of Fauvism and the most thoroughgoing chromatic revolutionary in the history of Western painting) specifically used the combination of lemon-yellow and pure green in the most deliberately non-naturalistic and the most personally expressive way in the Fauvist period (1905–1907, the most revolutionary single moment in the history of Western colour use, named after the critic Louis Vauxcelles's description of the Salon d'Automne 1905 exhibitors as 'fauves' / wild beasts) — the lemon-yellow and green of 'La Desserte / Harmony in Red' (1908), the landscapes of Collioure, and the most personally expressive Matisse chromatic combinations of 1905–1907.

The lemon-yellow and green chromatic combination in botanical science — the specific spectral overlap of lemon (approximately 570 nm wavelength, the most vivid yellow in the human photopic vision range) and green (approximately 540 nm, the peak sensitivity of the M-cone in the human eye — the single most visually sensitive wavelength in human daylight vision) creates the most visually sensitive and the most biologically natural warm-cool in the human visible spectrum. The specific lemon-and-green combination is the most frequently occurring in natural photosynthetic biology — the lemon-yellow of newly opening leaves and the pure green of mature chlorophyll creates the most specifically natural botanical progression of the most universally encountered warm-cool in nature.

The Granny Smith apple brand identity (Granny Smith, the most internationally cultivated tart green apple variety, developed by Maria Ann Smith (née Sherwood, 1799–1870) in Eastwood, New South Wales, Australia c.1868, distinguished by its bright lemon-yellow-green skin that combines the lemon warm-tone with the pure green in the most specifically botanical and the most commercially globally distributed lemon-and-green warm-cool in the history of food retail) creates the lemon-and-green warm-cool at the most commercially globally recognized and the most specifically botanical food warm-cool scale.
