Lime Punch
Also known as: Young Grass , Fuego Verde , Evening Primrose , Las Palmas
Lime Punch is a medium, lively yellow that reads as sunny and uplifting. It earns its place in cheerful branding and kids' apps. Its complement lands in purple territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (12.99:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Lime Punch 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: a front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: Commands attention in logos and packaging; balance it with generous neutral space.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively for dividers, chart series, and illustration accents, and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette: packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
