Lime

Lime (#00FF00) is a true green with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (120°, 100%, 50%) places it in the highly saturated band at a mid lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary violet. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel. Pure G=255 — the green vertex of the RGB cube. HTML 3.2 picked 'Lime' for this bright tone so the name 'Green' could be reserved for the darker #008000 half-octant.
