What colour are five pound notes?

[dungtwicebother]

DP and I disagree over what colour fivers are.....

What says Mumsnet?

Blue

Wikipedia says turquoise so I guess everyone is right! It just depends on how far green / blue you see.

According to the bank of England blue/green

Blue of course. Unless you're colourblind. Actually can you colourblind for blue? Maybe that's red and green.

Fifties are red. If you rub one on a piece of paper and it's genuine some of the red will come off.

Eh? They're GREEN?

I win!

He is totally colour blind and oblivious

They are definitely blue !

We need the argument.

He is only appreciative of the two votes for turquoise

Pay

PAH!

That's interesting about the Bank of England's description and the £50 note I thought they were red not that I've seen that many...! Guess it's how you see it them then. My dh and I often disagree on colours. That's why we have trouble agreeing on paint colours. Totally goes off topic...

He originally stated categorically they were green and twenties were blue

He now wants to know what colour the after eights box is

Green

After Eights? He's a kidder isn't he? Everyone knows they're navy blue....

they are blue, but the kind of blue that is heading towards green in the spectrum. always have been. maybe more intense now plastic.
the old white fivers were a v long time ago, doubt anyone on here has handled any, they were known a sandwich wrappers, as so big.

I wonder how long it will take for inflation to necessitate the £50 note being something we routinely carry in our wallets, and for the BOE to issue a £100 note?

Or will cash have become obsolete by the time that happens?

£5 blue
£20 purple
fter Eights box is green. Dark bottle green

After eights, now they're green.

After Eights - dark green.

Dark green

What colour does he say it is (after 8's)OP? Think he may be having a bit of a wind- up here...

Although they were white a long time ago, I think they changed pre-decimalisation.

I'm 63 and I never saw one, I think they went in the early 1950s. Apparently they were easy to forge.

Our £50 notes are green

He says the after eights ARE green but so are the fivers

Two shades of green light and dark
