What colour are five pound notes?

[dungtwicebother]

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

What says Mumsnet?

Greenish blue. Teal if you want to be fancy. It's not a blue blue IYSWIM. The fiver is nowhere near as blue as the Mumsnet logo for example.

The previous paper fiver was greener.

Pound notes are way before my time.

I think you could say the fiver's blueish green though. There's some greener shades and some bluer shades on the design.

It is turquoise
Old one more green

Both £5 notes and after 8s are green

Pound notes were unmistakably green (old enough to remember). My grandparents used to give me a pound note for Christmas, and it felt like I possessed the wealth of nations!

Green! £20 is pink and blue isn’t it??

The £5 is teal, darlings.

I have pound notes in my purse

£1 notes definitely green :)

£5 are very much blue

blue

Scottish £100 notes are red. I've only ever seen one in RL (and I worked for an English branch of a Scottish bank in the past)

Very green - I don't have a fiver to compare it with though 🙄

£100 are more of a dark pink colour

Blue

Scottish £50 note is green

DH remembers 10 shilling notes and they were brown, apparently!

I'm in scotland so I don't know if our £5 notes are more blue than English ones

Green.

You tend to see £50s if people have exchanged money abroad — I used to hate it as a student because I was treasurer for a society and the tellers would always look at me as if I were dodgy when I went to pay subs in!

Green

Blue

Scottish ones are definitely more blue but I'd still say english ones are blue too

P.s. these are DS's as I've borrowed them out his wallet!

Blue. Scottish fivers certainly are. English ones are a bit more turquoise. Definitely not green.

£5 are green. (DH says blue). We argue about blue/green a lot.

£5 used to be very blue when I was small. And £1 notes green. I still have some somewhere.
