Why Do Nigerian Web Developer's Use The Color Green?

I am trying to figure something out.

Just saw a post by someone about ariaria.com

Well, i opened the page and my first question is why use green?

Well, you can also say because nigeria's color is green

But who said nigerian developer/designers should be using color green as a dominant color for their works?

Still trying to figure this out kinda puzzling though.

Even if they use the green color they bastardize it.

Many of them look terrible actually. Oh well someone please help me why do nigerian so called web designers use color green.

They are just being patriotic. 

It has been bastardized! Gbam! And very terribly too. . .all them yeye designers. . .

There is absolutely nothing wrong with green. It is just that many nigerian sites you come across = green and it is badly done.

Either it is just one green wtih a mixture of white or different shades of green which can hurt the eye. You will need a special type of goggles to diffuse the effect of the green

There problem is that they use green, but because they know how to use any Color

I use green on two occassions: (1) if am doing a national or state project
                               
                                                  (2) if there is a shade of green in the Logo or company's color


but to be sincere GREEN is a beautiful color, na to sabi blend bi di koko

Because the colour of our flag is GREEN!

I love this, I have this on my myspace page~

www.nigeriannews.com can't get any more 'bastardized' but it's still cool enough.

That last site was not pleasing to the eye at all. I don't know why people feel the need to use their color. But as someone earlier said, if people do their country colors a lot of the sites would look like crap. I been to quite a few Jamaican sites and I must say, they really look like crap. I have a site, I don't really use my color. But if I do, its very subtle. And I have a small Jamaican flag. But I will not bombard the page with Jamaican colors. It just looks bad.

well i dont think is bad to use the color green. some times it depend on the
kind of site you want to have and the content you wish to display
i my self i have a site and i will like you guyz to check out my colors and tell
me what you feel about it the site is  theagentofchange-ng.com
and nairajobzone.com/job

I  have many more sites that are not green that  could be considered cool.


Nigerians and generalization

I made the generalization because I have had enough of seeing so many. Well, I have also seen others that are outside the green palette.

@dhtml  you were in green house your primary school. 

Classic, That is all the explanation needed. You didnt even cut it to secondary school you had to take it all the way back to primary school. THUMBS UP

It is kind of amazing seeing that actually. I was blank on seeing it didnt know what to think at first. but there many things that need.

I need to go see my doctor

I don't see anything wrong with using green on a website as long as it's a pastel shade. Bright colours used as backgrounds are harsh on the eyes and rarely work with any colour scheme.

As a promoter of google, google is an extremely useful tool.

Going to google.com and just searching for CSS GALLERY goes a long way in getting ideas/concept for design.

There are so many tools that make things easy these days maybe people are just lazy to search and read looking for shortcuts. I just pity companies that pay people for crappy jobs
