Chromaticity

Green

His first Dark Mark flares up high in the night sky, like a new star that has been shining for a thousand years and whose light has only now reached Earth's sights. With the sight comes a grim satisfaction, a sickly green that is very much the same as the Mark.

The Slytherin colors are green and silver, and his bedroom at home, as well as the one at school, was decorated in these hues. As soon as his parents found out that they were expecting a child, they decorated the nursery in green, with more care than they treated any other room of the house. No other color would do for a Malfoy; green was the first color he knew.

Not a rich emerald green or a deep forest or a soothing jade. This green is the green of the pallor of his skin under certain lights, when the glamour charms wore off and his sickness seeps in. It is the color of snakes, slithering through tall grass, and of the sky before a destructive storm.

Green is the color of spring, but also of jealousy. Green is the color of money, of ambition.

Green is the color of Draco Malfoy.

Sorry this one took so long; I haven't been able to upload documents for the past couple of days. This one was a bit cliched, I think, but next up is Red, and I really like it.
