# greenroom

## #1 — nordan, 2002-12-08T13:40Z

Varför heter det greenroom där artisterna sitter när det är melodifestival m.m.
Är det för att dom är så nervösa så att dom blir gröna i ansiktet eller :)

Jag har ingen aning men grön är en avslappnande färg och det kan vara därför...

Why is the "green room" called the green room? 

(S. Dilip, Chennai) 

The room where the actors and actresses rest during a play is usually referred to as the green room. It is so called because the walls in this room were traditionally painted green. 

People felt that \`green' was a soothing colour for the eyes. Since actors were exposed to harsh lights while on stage, they were provided something soothing to rest their eyes on. 

Hence the room was painted green. Nowadays of course the green room doesn't necessarily have to be painted green, but it still continues to be referred to as the "green room''.
