We get asked about the meaning behind the name Grasshopper 510 a lot, so here’s the scoop: color is measured on a wavelength in units called nanometers, and 510 represents the measurement in nanometers for the color green. Combine the 510 with the symbolism of a grasshopper--prosperity, wisdom and a leap of faith-- and we’ve got a name that speaks to the environmental movement and our own wild ride of becoming entrepreneurs.
