Limoncello
Also known as: French Lime, Nuclear Blast, Atomic Lime, Lemon Lime
Limoncello sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a vivid green that feels fresh and natural. Try it in eco packaging and finance apps. Match it with purple accents when the design calls for energy over calm. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (17.52:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Limoncello works
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
- Branding: Reads as growth and sustainability — at home in wellness, food, and environmental brands.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
