Regarding "the green":

I am a biologist by trade, and have been involved in making an educational film covering a whole year. Here in Norway, where the seasonal changes are quite distinct, the tone of colour, particularly for open grassland and fields, will change enormously throughout the season, not to mention what difference sunlight and moisture will do on a shorter time-scale. Colours can be almost painfully vibrant in the spring, turning duller as the year progress.

Also, not two years are the same. The little educational film I mentioned was shot over two years. The first year was cold and a bit rainy with a late spring. The meadow featuring in the film took forever to bloom, and was nicely green well into the autumn. The next year was hot and dry with an early spring, and the meadow turned brownish already in early June, to the directors great frustration. To shoot bits we had bugged up the year before, we would wait for the occasional rain and head out the day after to take advantage of the short lived resurgence of green that it produced. Needless to say, colour-balancing the film afterwards was a nightmare.

Last summer where I live was very wet compared to what it's usually like and the landscape was much greener.

Maybe the grass should just be left as is, seeing that there are so many variables. It will either never be the right color/hue or it will be just one plausible rendition out of many - It'll just have to be up to the eyes looking. After reading about Petters film project, I for one am ready to put this grass in my pipe and smoke it.
