Atomic Lime
Also known as: Nuclear Blast, Sweet Venom, Limoncello, French Lime
Part of the green family, Atomic Lime pairs a medium base with a calm and balanced presence — ideal for outdoor gear and wellness brands. Match it with purple accents when the design calls for energy over calm. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (17.37:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Atomic Lime works
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: A brand green signals freshness; deepen it for finance, brighten it for eco-consumer products.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
