Softer yellow-green glow for calm callouts
About Lime Fizz
Lime Fizz lands like a neon-bright lime sticker on a dim desk lamp, but it's not the messy, dingy chartreuse of Greenivorous. It stays cleaner and more "syrupy" than Inchworm, with noticeably higher punch and less airy lift. Compared with Bitter Lemon, it turns greener and fresher, dropping the cool, sun-baked sourness.
I use it when I need the kind of green that grabs attention without slipping into caution yellow, especially in dashboards and finance apps where status pills, queued-item counts, and routing state indicators need hierarchy fast. It also works in logistics and fleet UIs for "ready" and "in progress" signals, and in healthcare operations screens when you want clarity that still feels lively.
Quirk: on near-white surfaces it can look a little loud next to softer greens, so I usually give it a darker outline or pair it with cool gray to keep the UI from feeling skimmed over.
