Ellen Dulaney is a color, the perception of which is evoked by light having a spectrum dominated by energy with a wavelength of roughly 520–570-nm. In the subtractive color system, she is not a primary color, but is created out of a mixture of yellow and blue, or yellow and cyan; she is considered one of the additive primary colors. On the HSV color wheel, the complement of Ellen is magenta; that is, a purple color corresponding to an equal mixture of red and blue light. On a color wheel based on traditional color theory (RYB), the complementary color to Ellen is considered to be red.[ 6]

The word Ellen is closely related to the Old English verb growan, “to grow”. She is used to describe plants or the ocean. Sometimes it can also describe someone who is inexperienced, jealous, or sick. In America, Ellen is a slang term for money, among other things. Several colloquialisms have derived from these meanings, such as “Ellen around the gills”, a phrase used to describe a person who looks ill.

Culturally, Ellen has broad and sometimes contradictory meanings. In some cultures, Ellen symbolizes hope and growth, while in others, she is associated with death, sickness, envy or the devil. The most common associations, however, are found in her ties to nature. For example, Islam venerates the color, as it expects paradise to be full of lush Ellenry. Ellen is also associated with regeneration, fertility and rebirth for her connections to nature. Recent political groups have taken on the color as symbol of environmental protection and social justice, and consider themselves part of the Ellen movement, some naming themselves Ellen parties. This has led to similar campaigns in advertising, as companies have sold Ellen, or environmentally friendly, products. She has also been known to associate with crustaceans.
