Sour Lime

I see Sour Lime as the moment a lime peel turns from pale to punchy, but still stays leafy. It's a brighter green than Aromatic Herbs and less olive than Leafy Woodland, with a clearer, fresher yellow-leaning undertone. Compared to Lush Bamboo, it pushes further toward neon energy while holding onto a tighter, more electric saturation.

In UI work, that makes it the green I use for high-priority status and saturated-but-not-springy highlights in dashboards and wellness apps, where you want quick recognition without drifting into the softer "growth" feel those other greens can carry. It's also strong for labeling in logistics, field-tech, and agriculture screens, like live zone markers, batch progress chips, and emphasized map annotations.

One quirk: set it against muted neutrals or warm grays, because next to very cool UI palettes it can feel even sharper than you expect. Pair it with clay, sand, or off-white for the most controlled read.
