Chartreuse

is a color halfway between yellow and green that was named because of its resemblance to the green color of one of the French liqueurs called green chartreuse, introduced in 1764. (extracted from wikipedia)
I first learnt about this colour when I was buying yarn. It's a bit like lime green which I also like but more yellowish. Chartreuse background with 50-cent coin polka dots tote. I've been pulling out the 'vintage' fabrics that I have and found this and a baby pink version. The texture reminds me of linen but I think it's cotton. Maybe a blend? Your usual tote with reinforced handles and a panel of pockets inside.
Have a blessed day!
