What Does Lime Mean?

Lime is the color of life itself. It dominates the natural world, and the human eye can distinguish more shades of lime than of any other color — a legacy of our evolution among forests and grasslands. Lime universally represents growth, renewal, health and permission ("green light"). It is also the color of money and prosperity in much of the world, giving it a unique double meaning of nature and wealth.

Lime Color Psychology

Psychologically, lime is the most restful color for the human eye. It reduces anxiety, improves focus and even speeds recovery — hospital interiors and "green rooms" exist for this reason. Exposure to lime environments measurably lowers stress hormones.
