About this color

Lime sits at 76° on the color wheel with 100% saturation and 50% lightness, placing it in the yellow segment of the spectrum. With saturation at 100%, 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(187, 255, 0), where the green channel leads at 255, 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 27C 0M 100Y 0K. With almost no black ink (0%), this color is built almost entirely from process inks: 27% cyan, 100% yellow. This profile tends toward vibrancy in print, though ink density limits on press may affect saturation on coated versus uncoated stock. No brands in the brandkit.pro library currently specify this exact hex as a named brand color.
