Color in Action
Lime green can be used in fashion accessory design or as the main color for an outfit. Due to its supreme brightness Lime green is a color that is perfectly suited for theatre costumes and set design. A Lime Green ballgown for a play that is set in the Regency period will be a show-stopping that will make the production look remarkable.
Lime Green can be used as an accent color in a child’s playroom or for outdoor playground equipment. It is not well-suited for wall color and should probably not be the main color in a room because it will quickly overpower the space and make it feel claustrophobic.
Colors that go with Lime
A split-complementary color scheme that includes Lime Green will have Pure Pink and Pure Violet as its corresponding colors which will create a truly eye-popping design that feels energetic and ground-breaking.
Lime Color Palettes and Schemes
A monochromatic color palette will have tones and shades of Lime Green that make it feel like a tropical paradise. Try Lime Green with Pure Blue, Pure Magenta, and Pure Yellow for a tetradic color palette that has an exuberant vitality.
Backgrounds and Seamless Patterns
Backgrounds of Pure Lime Green can feel overwhelming and boring, so why not try a damask pattern in Lime Green and Onyx for a grungy look or a checkered pattern with Lime Green and White for a summery feel?
