Talk:Lime (color)

Untitled
Anyone have any opinions on whether this article should be here or at Lime (color)?? Georgia guy 23:54, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Anyone notice this??
Here's an interesting thing about Wikipedia's color sequence:

Red-Scarlet-Vermillon-Orange-Amber-Tangerine-Gold-Yellow-Lime-Chartreuse-Green-Spring_green-Cyan-Azure-Blue-Persian_blue-Violet

The colors in the range from scarlet to gold look sort-of-orange when I view the screen with my eyes on the bottom of the computer, but sort-of-yellow-green when my eyes are towards the top, and the exact opposite is true of lime. Georgia guy 23:16, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

And what else?? When I look at spring green, it looks sort-of-sky-blue towards the top. Georgia guy 23:19, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

And when I look at Persian blue, it looks somewhat redder than violet when my eye goes towards the top. Isn't all this funny?? Georgia guy 23:21, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

And still one more thing: when I look at the color circle about saturation, it looks black when I view it with my eye at the bottom, and white when my eye is towards the top. Georgia guy 22:25, 30 May 2005 (UTC)


 * Some LCD flat screen monitors display the effect of apparent color change depending on viewing angle, with viewing it from higher or lower angles most strongly effecting those changes. CRT monitors generally never have that problem.  If you really want to see a full blooming of that problem, tilt your LCD viewing of an RGB gamut map, like one here  or one there .  Study LCD light polarization and RGB gamut articles for further details. Samuel Erau (talk) 04:20, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Multiple "Lime" pages
Some of the (current) items listed in the section "Lime in human culture" seem more appropriate for one or more of the other "Lime" pages; for example, the item on "Limey" is a reference to Lime (fruit) rather than Lime (color). 206.205.52.162 (talk) 15:35, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I removed three items for that reason. Rojomoke (talk) 06:58, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Lemon Lime
The section states that this is a color named after certain carbonated soft drinks. The text in the section contains no references. The color coordinates template has a place for a source but that field doesn't have a proper reference, simply the word "Sprite".

Searching for Sprite leads one to one possible website: Sprite. That site does make reference to "lemon-lime", but in context it is clearly a reference to a flavor not a color. That particular website gives no hint that there is a color by this name and certainly not any information on the color attributes.

I don't plan to edit this article as my current focus is on the color lists articles (e.g. List_of_colors:_A–F). I do plan to remove this entry from that list, but if someone does some research and can can find evidence that there is a color by this name, it can be restored.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  17:30, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
