Explanation

"Good color" in medicine refers to the appearance of a person's skin, lips, or nail beds. It is often used to indicate that these areas have a healthy pink or natural hue, suggesting that the person's body is getting enough oxygen. If these areas appear pale, blue, or gray, it might suggest a health problem, such as poor blood circulation or low oxygen levels. Therefore, having a "good color" is often seen as a sign of good health.
