i think it is because of the calmness the green color gives the patients. and further it is followed from long back.....
I think and i am not confident that the green color gives less pain
It is because that green colour symbolises of vegetation and people drift in to a dream like state.

I think there is some other reason for using it.
I think the reason is blood being red in color would show more prominently and also looks scary against white color clothes. Also, may be that the green color has a wave length close to that of red.
Abhiskek you are partially correct. If blood stains occur on white cloth then it worries and scores the doctor and even patient. if it is green then blood color looks black on green color and there will be no much effect

but why specifically green...the same result can be achieved with black,blue colors......why do we use only green then?
Yes this is the doubt i had also.Why dont they use black and blue .
If it is black we cannot know how much blood is sucked by the cloth and if it is blue, it is also like white and more thing, green gives some pleasantness to the patient. It gives some bravery to the patient that nothing may not happen
i think green colour stands for prosperity and well being. it soothes one's eyes and so may be that is the reason.
vidhimayur the reason which you have specified is also one reason for using green color.
There is not much reasoning. There is some specific dress for various occasions. any type can be prescribed.
The blood stains on green color won't be seen as the blood color look black on green color.so doctors use green color
green color is a sign of peace and faith so doctor use it.
green colour is used as it gives peace and calm to our mind so, the patients will not get scare.
yes, vinod this may be one more reason for the usage of green in hospitals
Green is the colour that we see all around us.So it will not feel a strangeness in the theatre!
I also heard once that green is the colour of calmness.A patient in thetre needs calm.That is why this colour selected.
Green is a color which makes our mind pleasant so it is used in operation theatres and even in hospitals
Our hands contain lot of bacteria and viruses,that we can't see from our naked eyes. Doctors do operation in our body,so that time,to avoid those germs to go beneath,these use special gloves.
Apron,this is something to ask why the businessman wear Blazer.Its the identity of the doctor to wear apron. Its the standard they maintain.
Apron,because,sometimes blood may come out,so to avoid the fall of blood on dress,they wear it. Also so that their clothes don't get dirty.
