The period from the First Sunday of Advent to Pentecost is known as the Liturgical Year. It is roughly 1/2 of the calandar year. During the Liturgical Year we hear how God has called us to Himself through His plan for our redemption. For the second half of the year, which is called Ordinary Time (or the Season after Pentecost), we are taught how we should respond to God's call. Therefore, the theme of this long season is growth and maturity. Of course, the color of growth is green. http://www.dioms.org/newcomers/Dictionary/C.html

"Ordinary Time" is used to refer to the time periods that are not part of any special liturgical season. Specifically, the time periods between Christmas (which ends the Sunday after the Epiphany) and Lent, and between Easter (which ends on Pentecost Sunday) and Advent.

It commonly means "counted" or "numbered". The color is green and its more than half of the liturgical year.

"Ordinary Time is a season of the Christian (especially the Catholic) liturgical calendar. The name corresponds to the Latin term Tempus per annum (literally "time through the year"). Ordinary Time comprises the two periods — one following Epiphany, the other following Pentecost — which do not fall under the "strong seasons" of Advent, Christmas, Lent, or Easter. The term Ordinary does not mean common or plain, but is derived from the term ordinal or "numbered." The weeks in ordinary time are numbered, although several Sundays are named for the feast they commemorate, such as Trinity Sunday (first Sunday after Pentecost) and the Feast of Christ the King (last Sunday in OT), and for American Catholics, the Feast of Corpus Christi (second Sunday after Pentecost)."
