You mean the color that's in this.....
The top green got my eye, it is typical of the time when these Sunbonnets were made, it was also called Depression Green and was used extensively. My quilt from a grandmother, made in 1932, was this shade of green. Look in the 30's display of fabric, two shades of green or the blue would make a very nice Irish chain, or green and white.
