Lime is a color that is a shade of yellow-green, so named because it is a representation of the color of the citrus fruit called limes. It is the color that is in between the web color chartreuse and yellow on the color wheel.[1] Alternate names for this color included yellow-green, lemon-lime, lime green, or bitter lime.[2]
The first recorded use of lime green as a color name in English was in 1890.[3][1]
