Limon

Lighter, softer chartreuse highlight, calmer than near-neon
About Limon
I keep thinking of Limon as that moment a sticky note catches light over a pale dashboard. It's a light, lemon-leaning green that stays lively without sliding into the butter-sunny warmth of Fuzzy Duckling, and it never goes milky near-white like Dolly. Compared to Illuminating, it feels a touch greener and less "highlight" cool. The result is a shade with green family clarity that reads like yellow signage, not tinted paper.
For product UI, I use Limon when I want emphasis that feels fresh and lightly energized: quantity badges in grocery and meal kit apps, small success chips in onboarding flows for retail POS, and confirmation panels in logistics dashboards where you're tracking steps and status. It's also great in e-commerce promo tiles that need a clean, lemon-green background behind short text, especially over deeper greens or charcoal UI chrome. This is the one you reach for when you need warmth that won't look washed out or tip too far chartreuse.
Quirk: because it's light, it can fight with very pale yellows in crowded screens, so give it a slightly darker border or a richer green neighbor.
