Por que “verde” para os Lanternas Verdes?

21

Por que o criador original (Martin Nodell) do Lanterna Verde escolheu a cor verde?

Estou procurando a explicação fora do universo , que a pesquisa na Internet não está me dando.

A escolha foi motivada pelas limitações da tecnologia de impressão em quadrinhos dos anos 1940? Nodell deu entrevistas ou comentários sobre o motivo da escolha?

Usando o Google, me deparei com este Biografia de Martin Nodell :

Nodell was inspired by the Green Lantern idea by waiting for a New York subway, and he saw a train operator waving a lantern with a green light. According to USA Today, “Nodell imagined a young engineer, Alan Scott, a train crash survivor who discovers in the debris an ancient lantern forged from a green meteor. Scott constructs a ring from the lamp that gives him super powers and becomes a crime fighter.”

In a 2000 interview with Bill Black, editor and publisher of AC Comics, Nodell said, “I picked out the name from the train man on the tracks who was waving a lantern, going from red to green…green meant go and I decided that was it."
