Lime is a popular shade of green. It is created from light green with a hint of yellow. You could say it's a colour between yellow and vivid green. Its name refers to the citrus fruit with which this colour is often associated. This association with the fruit already suggests the energetic, refreshing effect of lime colour. It's a warm, summery colour, perfectly suited to such styles.

Lime already appeared in the 2022/2023 trends, and it was a preview of what we're seeing fully in 2023. Lime colour is visible not only on the streets or at fashion shows, but also in our immediate surroundings. Choosing this colour for this year's holidays will therefore be a perfect hit, and not only for fashion trendsetters. This charming, fresh colour will appeal to adults and children alike. There are no age restrictions when it comes to wearing it - it's just worth matching it to your own colour type, so that lime doesn't emphasise a sallow complexion, if that's a concern.

Lime clothing colour – what it says about the wearer

Lime colour is most often chosen by people looking to attract attention and who like to stand out. Lovers of lime-coloured clothes are usually sociable, energetic, and have a rich imagination. This colour stimulates, improves concentration, and supports intellectual work. Sometimes this green-yellow colour is symbolically associated with illness and weakness, but it's enough not to overdo it with the amount of lime on clothing, and there's no need to worry about such associations arising. Bright lime colour is certainly a proposition for people who like vivid colours. And it suits such people best - it's not really a colour for shy and modest people.

What to pair with lime colour?

Lime can be combined with many colours. You can create explosive combinations by pairing lime with pink or blue, which many people like, though not everyone is bold enough or ready for such combinations straight from the catwalks or IG accounts. What does lime colour go with, and which colours are worth choosing to go with it? There are many possibilities. These can include beiges, navy blues or browns. They allow you to create calmer sets with lime.

Periwinkle or light blue will also be a great choice. Fans of girly combinations can opt for coral or powder pink, which will also work well with vibrant lime. White, black or grey will tone down the lime energy a little, and can be used to create safe combinations, for example for work.

Lime shade for every season

We've already mentioned that lime colour suits all ages. It can also be worn regardless of size, as it doesn't have the figure-widening properties that many women dislike. Although it's very striking, it's neutral in this respect. If you're not ready to wear lime clothing from head to toe, there's nothing wrong with that. You can start with individual items of clothing, or even just with accessories. Even a small touch of lime colour will liven up an outfit. It's worth testing this colour in different colour combinations to find your perfect match.
