King Lime
#add900
Deeper, warmer lime chartreuse for strong highlights
About King Lime
I look at King Lime and it reads like fresh chartreuse-green paint under overhead LEDs, not like a slice of fruit. It's a cleaner, more electric lime than High Grass, and it avoids the cucumber-style yellow drift of Cucumber Bomber. Compared with Lime Punch, it feels less "button-highlight" and more like a steady signal color, with extra saturation but not the sun-warm glow.
For dashboards and finance apps, King Lime is my go-to when you need current-state pop that doesn't tip toward cautionary gold or that slightly airy, light-in-isolation look Lime Punch can give on pure white. Use it for live KPIs in fintech ops, shipment status chips in logistics portals, and alert markers on field maps where vegetation overlays must stay legible beside off-whites and charcoal. It also works well as a category accent in health or retail admin screens where "go" needs to feel precise, not soft.
Quirk: on near-white backgrounds it can feel a touch sharp, so pair it with a calmer green-gray or give it a darker stroke to keep the UI from looking over-crisp.
