Grass green
A True Spring color
anchor color 5 of 10 in True Spring. Also called Warm Spring in other systems.

Grass green is green with the yellow turned up and the blue mostly gone. It is the True Spring green, the color of new leaves in direct sun, and it is warmer than any Winter green and clearer than any Autumn. It flatters a Spring face and makes most other faces look sallow.
Grass green is an anchor color in True Spring. Its closest relative outside the palette is Warm bright green #7AC442, a Bright Spring color, at a perceptual distance of 3. That is near enough for that season to wear it as a neutral, with the accents kept in its own palette.
At RGB 111, 191, 59 the green is high, the red sits at more than half of it, and the blue is low. That red is the yellow. Green with red added reads as yellow-green, and yellow-green at this saturation reads as grass. There is nothing cool in it, which is why it is a Spring color and not a Winter one.
A True Spring wears it with the palette's warm neutrals: golden brown, warm beige, camel, warm navy. A knit with a brown jacket. A dress with tan shoes. A scarf against a cream shirt. It also pairs with peach and warm coral, which few greens do, because all three share the same yellow.
Retailers call it grass, apple, lime, kelly, bright green, or spring green, and most of what sells under those names is either too yellow, which is lime, or too blue, which is kelly. Hold the garment against a lemon yellow. Grass green looks like the yellow's darker cousin. A kelly green looks blue by comparison.
Bright Spring's warm bright green is three points away and True Spring's own bright warm green is nine, both the same color in practice. Light Spring's light warm green is twenty points off and paler. The Winter emeralds are more than thirty points away and cool. On a Bright Winter, grass green looks yellow. On a True Spring, emerald looks cold. There is no real confusion here, only neighbors.

Yes. Grass green (#6FBF3B) is an anchor color in the True Spring palette, and close enough to a Bright Spring color for that season to wear it as a neutral.
No. Kelly green has blue in it. Grass green as the True Spring palette uses it is RGB 111, 191, 59, with the blue mostly gone and the yellow turned up. Against a lemon yellow, grass green looks related and kelly looks blue.
Yes. Bright Spring's warm bright green is three points away, which is closer than two dye lots of the same garment. The two palettes share it.
Not well. True Autumn's greens are olive and moss, which are this color with the light and saturation taken down. Grass green at full strength reads harsh on an Autumn face. True Autumn's version of the job is olive.
For a True Spring: golden brown, warm beige, camel, warm navy, peach, warm coral, cream. Grass green and golden brown is the natural pairing. Grass green and coral is the bright one. Avoid black and cool greys.
