The white-and-green ratio is a quantitative relation between the amounts of lines of text received in a message conversation and the number of lines sent in response. Green refers to the background color of the bubble speech for sent messages in popular applications like WhatsApp or Telegram or iMessage, white is the background color of the bubble speech of received messages; green is always us, white is always the others. The further the ratio is from 1, the more alarming the status of the relationship between the participants.
“I am very interested in what you are doing, and I feel it would be great to hear more about it. Maybe in the next weeks, unless you are very busy. Let me know how you feel, and we can meet up for drinks” if responded: “Yes, Sure” presents a white and green ratio of 4:1 (where four lines of text received a response of 1 line)
A conversation like “I love you” “Me too” has the perfect and ideal white-and-green-ratio of 1:1
