Green, colour of nature, spring or even fertility. Well, I don't know about the last one, but I suppose getting a bit of a country elements makes sense, when it has something to do with nature (example in Prog of such soaring sounds would be "Countryside" by Moon Safari) and as such is strongly melodic, perhaps even harmonic (and such harmony would be of course with a nature). The best description for this part I can give you is that it moves like a waves, strongly, but the movement is to be expected (and respected?), being a bit obvious. Indeed it is.

The color of nature represented through American country music. Yee-haw!

This is the first of the EPs that isn't alternative-rock influenced at all. Casey decided (understandably) that for a color as fragile as Green, the music couldn't be aggressive like Red or fast-paced and cheery like Yellow.

Green has a strong acoustic and very often nostalgic feel to it. There's strong use of Country elements such as completely raw and un-processed instrumentation. Due to all the songs inside it being ballads, it works as a good break from the previous Colors.

The stand-out for me, while maybe not the most quintessential, is Inheritance. Honestly? One of the most beautiful ballads in their discography. The harmonica really adds up alot to the country vibe and the song has very relaxing instrumentation. I personally think this is 3.5 Stars, but I'm rounding it up to 4.
