Lime is the brightest edge of green, the family that sits where green meets yellow. It reads as energy before it reads as nature, which is why it belongs to sportswear, gaming and anything that wants to feel young or fast rather than calm. Because lime is so light, it is difficult to use as text or as a large field without a strong partner.
Put it beside black and it becomes electric; put it beside a muted cream and it softens into something closer to spring. The swatches below are ordered lightest to darkest and include the deeper, olive-leaning values that still carry the lime hue without its glare. Each carries a name, a hex code and RGB values, with a page behind it for tints, shades and contrast.
The family is small and specific, and it behaves more like a signal color than like a green. Nearly every entry here is light enough to sit above the surrounding palette rather than within it, which is why lime works so well on a single button, a badge or a thin rule and so badly across a whole surface. The darker entries further down the list are where lime becomes usable in larger areas, since they hold their brightness without glare.
