Lime & Emerald

Lime and emerald creates the Brazilian Seleção Brasileira football jersey and Amazon rainforest combination — because the Brazilian national football team (Seleção Brasileira / A Canarinha / Os Pentacampeões, Confederação Brasileira de Futebol / CBF, the most successful national football team in the history of FIFA World Cup competition with five World Cup titles: 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994, 2002 — the most specifically FIFA-World-Cup-historically-successful and the most globally broadcast single football national team identity in the history of the sport) uses the combination of the lime-green / amarelo-verde of the Canarinha shirt (the most specifically Brazilian-football-nationally-recognized and the most globally broadcast single football jersey in the world — the vivid lime-green jersey first adopted in 1954 following a design competition won by Aldyr Garcia Schlee of Pelotas) against the deeper emerald-green of the Amazon rainforest and the Atlantic Forest / Mata Atlântica (the most biodiverse forest ecosystems in South America, representing the most specifically Brazilian-biodiversity and the most precisely Amazônia-emerald-green warm-neutral) as the most specifically Brazilian-football-nationally recognized and the most globally broadcast lime-and-emerald warm-cool.

The Maracanã stadium tradition (Estádio Jornalista Mário Filho / Maracanã, Avenida Presidente Castelo Branco, Rio de Janeiro — the most culturally significant and the most historically celebrated single football stadium in South America, with a historical maximum capacity of approximately 200,000 spectators in the 1950 FIFA World Cup Final, the most specific site of Brazilian football lime-and-emerald national identity in the history of world football) creates the lime-and-emerald warm-cool at the most specifically Maracanã-football-historically-significant and the most broadly Brazilian-football-nationally-celebrated warm-cool scale.

The Brazilian Atlantic Forest restoration tradition (SOS Mata Atlântica Foundation, Rua Manoel da Nóbrega 456, São Paulo — the most specific Atlantic Forest conservation organization in Brazil, working to restore the most specifically Brazilian-coastal-forest and the most precisely emerald-green Mata Atlântica ecosystem, which has been reduced to approximately 12% of its original extent — creating the most specifically Brazilian-conservation and the most precisely emerald-green-Mata-Atlântica warm-cool alongside the lime-green of the CBF Canarinha football tradition) creates the lime-and-emerald warm-cool at the most specifically Brazilian-Atlantic-Forest and the most precisely SOS-Mata-Atlântica-conservation warm-cool scale.
