Varför "grön" för Green Lanterns?

21

Varför valde den ursprungliga skaparen (Martin Nodell) i Green Lantern färggrön?

Jag letar efter out-of-univers förklaring, vilken internetsökning inte ger mig.

Var valet drivet av begränsningarna av komisk tryckteknik från 1940-talet? Hade Nodell intervjuer eller kommentarer om orsaken till valet?

Med Google kom jag över det här Martin Nodell bio länk:

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."
