Lime is no gentle sage. The hex code #4b9e0f lands deep in bold green territory: saturated, bright, and loud. That energy suits buttons, badges, and sports branding far better than full-page backgrounds. Pair it with charcoal or deep plum instead of plain white, and keep text black on top, which reads at about 6.2:1 contrast.
