Lime Green #32CD32

Lime green is green with the volume up. It suggests freshness, growth, and youth, with more spark than forest or olive green and less glare than neon. It's the green of a fresh lime wedge on the rim of a glass, sharp and juicy.

It's tied to citrus and to sport: bright jerseys, running shoes, and fitness trackers often use it. The late 1990s and early 2000s also leaned on lime green in fashion and gadgets, so to some eyes it has a slightly Y2K feel.

People generally read it as playful and friendly. Like other strong greens, it can also suggest sourness or something artificial when it's pushed too far or used across too much space. Brands use it to look youthful and approachable, and it is a common choice for products aimed at teenagers and children.

Lime green suits fitness apps, kids' brands, eco products, and drink packaging. Dark text works on it; black or deep navy is readable, while white text looks washed out. On white backgrounds it's fine for large shapes but weak for thin text or small icons. It pairs well with navy, charcoal, and white for a clean sporty look, or with hot pink and purple for something louder. In interiors, keep it to accents like towels, stools, or a single painted shelf.
