Lime Ricky

393

Lime Ricky (2024-50) is a pale, warm-leaning green with a distinct yellow undertone that gives it a soft, buttery quality alongside its green cast. The LRV of 84.22 means it reflects light efficiently and can function as a tinted neutral in well-lit rooms. Under incandescent lighting, the yellow base becomes more apparent.

It harmonizes with Chantilly Lace and Icicle for a clean, light backdrop. Hale Navy or Blackberry Wine introduce strong contrast, while Palladian Blue or Whispering Spring keep the palette in a quiet, cool-green range.
