Using $ in vscode snippets

Question

I am trying to create a snippet which includes a $ sign, but in output vscode is skipping the $ sign and making the text selected.

"Color 1": {
        "prefix": "c1",
        "body": [
            "color: $c1;"
        ]
    }

Output

color: c1;

I have also tried using \ and ''. Can anyone please guide.

You can escape $ sign in snippets with double backslash \\ like this:

"Color 1": {
    "prefix": "c1",
    "body": [
            "color: \\$c1;"
    ]
}
