What is the meaning of the color Lime Green?
Named after the lime fruit, the color first appeared as a distinct English color term in the early 20th century. It gained commercial traction in the 1960s when synthetic dyes made highly saturated greens widely available for plastics, textiles, and print. Safety and visibility research led to its adoption in high-visibility workwear standards, including those set by the American National Standards Institute in its ANSI/ISEA 107 specification for occupational apparel. Hi-vis lime green is now defined by that standard as one of two approved fluorescent colors for worker safety garments.
