About this color

Lime sits at 76° on the color wheel with 97% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the yellow segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 97%, this is a high-chroma color: the kind that anchors palettes and demands considered placement. Its mid-range lightness positions it as a mid-tone: neither a background color nor a deep accent, but something in between.

In digital environments, Lime is rendered as rgb(185, 251, 4), where the green channel leads at 251, producing a distinctly green-dominant tone. The mid-range lightness and strong saturation make this versatile for both foreground and background roles, depending on what it is paired against.

For print, Lime translates to a CMYK breakdown of 26C 0M 98Y 2K. With almost no black ink (2%), this color is built almost entirely from process inks: 26% cyan, 98% yellow. This profile tends toward vibrancy in print, though ink density limits on press may affect saturation on coated versus uncoated stock.
