Dollar Bill
Also known as: Cold Spring , Lima Bean Green , Leafy Greens , Hillside Grove
There is a fresh and natural quality to Dollar Bill. The gentle, warm green at #85BB65 rewards outdoor gear and wellness brands. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a purple keeps a palette from feeling one-note. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (9.29:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.
