Why is nurse's uniform in operating room green?

In relation to my work, selling surgical equipments, I often accompany surgeons during surgery, and I'm very curious why their uniform in O.R. is in green color, in every hospital.
Answer:
They are usually green or blue, because when they are stained with blood, blood appear as a black or dark mark, not a flashing red. It's usually more relaxing.
It lessens the retinal fatigue of looking into red (blood) while operating. It's the opposite color of red.
The convention of scrubs is not the same in every hospital. They are mostly blue at our hospital. I've really only seen shades of blue or green in mass-produced scrubs. I don't know of any historical basis for "surgery = green".
Many uniforms, such as nurses, surgeons and others, use the green color because it mutes the blood stains. This is particularly the case in the OR.
its a relaxing color
because it's a really pretty color?
It's not you have just been watching too much TV ..
