Lime green was first given its name because of its close similarity to the color of limes, the fruit. It is a color that is between yellow and green, but ultimately closer to yellow. Because it contains more yellow, it is classified as a warmer hue than a cooler one. Its a tertiary shade that contrasts the most with fuschia and can be combined with other shades for more subtlety. Three different categories of colors exist: tertiary, secondary, and primary. All colors derive from three main ones: blue, red, and yellow. The secondary colors are created when two primary ones are mixed. Examples of secondary hues are orange, made by combining red and yellow as well as violet, a mixture of red and blue. Tertiary colors are created through mixing a primary color with a secondary one. Red-orange is included in this category, as it is a combination of red and orange. So is lime green, a combination of green, which is a secondary color, with yellow, one of the primary colors. The two parts combined to make a secondary or tertiary color may be mixed in different amounts and give slightly different shades. For example, purple made with more red than blue will be brighter than a purple with more blue than red. Therefore, for lime green, the shade is brighter the more yellow that is added. Some mixtures may use twelve parts yellow for a very bright effect. Others may use only a ratio of ten to one for a less radiant tint. However, there must always be more yellow in the mix. Color wheels have cool shades and warm shades. The warmer ones include orange, red, yellow, and everything in between. The remaining colors, including purple, violet, and blue are classified as cool. Lime has both types, being made from yellow and blue. Blue is cold but yellow is warm. Because yellow is such a larger part of its composition, it is considered a mostly warm color. Color wheels make it quite easy to determine colors for contrast. If colors are complements of each other, they are opposites in color. An easy way to see this on a wheel is to look at colors located directly opposite each other. The complement of lime is a reddish blue fuschia. These two show a stark contrast if shown along side each other. Other complementary colors are orange and blue. If less contrast is desired, colors may be combined that have a more similar shade. Orange may be paired with a red-orange or a yellow-orange. These are all very similar in appearance. Yellow or blue-green can be combined with lime for a similar harmonious effect. This combination type has a lot less contrast, as the colors concerned are all related and on one side of the color wheel. The color lime green is composed of a secondary and a primary one, and is therefore considered tertiary. Its a mixture of cool and warm colors, but is warmer because it has more yellow. Its complementary shade is fuschia, present directly opposite it on a color wheel. Therefore these two colors have the highest contrast to each other than to any other color. More harmonious shades with less of a contrast would be any located adjacent to each other within the color spectrum.
