I am an artist, and when I hear the lyrics and think of the title "A Certain Shade Of Green" the immediate meaning that pops up in my head is getting the right shade of a color. Many ppl are profectionist and must wait their whole lives for things to be just so. Being a painter, I know how it is to waste a bunch of time getting a certain color. It's probaly not what Boyd was thinking when he wrote the song, but its what I get. All of you guy's song meanings are really intresting, I think they are all very valid for this song. Rock on!!
