Lime Green

2026-10

Lime Green (2026-10) is a saturated yellow-green with strong warm undertones that push it closer to chartreuse than a true mid-green. At an LRV of 44.5, it sits in the medium-reflectance range and carries significant visual weight on any surface. The color is unapologetically bold and reads consistently bright in both natural and artificial light.

Calypso Orange or Poolside Blue make high-energy companion choices, while Simply White or Classic Gray can temper the intensity. Black Beauty or Hale Navy deliver firm contrast against its brightness.
