Lime Rickey

SW 6717

Lime Rickey SW 6717 is a vibrant green carrying a distinct yellow undertone, with an LRV of 45 that places it in the mid-range for light reflectance. This level of saturation works well as an accent wall color or in spaces with ample natural light. The yellow-green base pairs naturally with Extra White SW 7006 for clean trim contrast, while Basil SW 6445 and Relentless Olive SW 6425 offer deeper tonal coordination.

Complementary neutrals like Accessible Beige SW 7036 and Mindful Gray SW 7016 help temper its bold character in living areas or home offices.
