About the color..
"The colour lime green is composed of a secondary and a primary one, and is therefore considered tertiary. Its a mixture of cool and warm colours, but is warmer because it has more yellow. Its complementary shade is fuschia, present directly opposite it on a colour wheel. Therefore these two colours have the highest contrast to each other than to any other colour." http://www.limegreenofficeproducts.co.uk/Lime-Green-s/1833.htm
