"The Prime Color of the World"

An informal poll conducted these past several weeks on Green School History has indicated that a majority of visitors to the site prefer the Green School to remain green. While the present green color scheme of the building is not likely to have been the building's original color, most of those favoring that shade regard the color as a traditional one for the building given that few Middleborough residents today can recall the building having been painted any other color. While some have suggested that an historic paint color analysis be conducted on the structure to ascertain its original color scheme, it is unlikely that funding would be available for such a project given the building's other outstanding needs, nor would it seem likely that the results would sway residents from their sentimental attachment to green.

"Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises." -Pedro Calderon de la Barca (1600-81), Spanish Poet and Playwright
