Groovy Lemon Pie

Sunlit chartreuse-gold with calmer, softer punch
About Groovy Lemon Pie
Groovy Lemon Pie looks like a bright slice of lemon filling, but it lands closer to a soft neon butter than a deep golden label. Compared to Fat Gold, it's lighter and more "lifted" so it doesn't feel pressed-in or settled. It also doesn't go as fruit-juice sharp as Finger Banana, because the undertone stays a touch rounder and greener at the edges, keeping it from reading as straight sunshine.
I use it for UI moments where you want instant attention while still staying friendly to green backgrounds. It's great for CPG labels, grocery category tiles, and limited-time offer badges where the surrounding palette is fresh and you need the highlight to stay playful, not premium-warm. In dashboards and ecommerce product cards, it works well on quantity chips and price callouts when the one you reach for needs to feel more "morning bright" than "gold coin" or honeyed.
Pair it with light sage or creamy neutrals so it keeps its lemony temperature instead of turning slightly sallow next to warm tans.
