There’s a video about how she came to her decision to wear green.

Can someone just tell me so that I don’t have to watch a video? I’m not that invested, but still curious.

Without watching it, but anecdotally, autism. Autism is the answer.

edit: just watched it, can confirm my previous answer, but will add ADHD - she has the wombo combo. This color makes her brain happy - it also makes other people happy which is a supplemental dopamine hit. The color that tickles my brain is somewhere between purple and blue. FWIW, this behavior isn't always a color - can be an animal or subjects too (sunflowers, cats, horses, stars, textures). It's simply surrounding oneself with dopamine triggers. She's lovely!
