How to wear LIME

Tropical weather demands tropical color! Do you know how to wear LIME!

Whether you're barbecuing in Brighton or chilling in the Caribbean, the dramatic shades of luscious Lime are perfect addition to your warm weather wardrobe.  

One of the most striking colors of all time, but is this color for YOU?

Well as Kettlewell Colours are kind enough to share with us, theoretically, 3 out of the 4 Seasonal palettes can happily wear different versions of Lime. 

and even for a SUMMER - why not?

AND disproving that fact that Summers can't wear LIME, I unearthed an old favorite which shows that even us Summer's can enjoy it in small doses!

Lots of lovely shades for EVERYONE!

How to wear LIME if you're SPRING

With it's sharp acidity and strong saturation level, vivid and vibrant LIME is the perfect 'hero' color in the Spring palette - all shades of lime will work well for you.

Spring colors are LIGHT, WARM and CLEAR with some truly outstanding shades.

You can allow lovely Lime to take centre stage with the simplest of neutral supporters. Or you can match it against some of the other clear shades of Spring, it always holds it's own!  

Or if you're AUTUMN

While Autumns can wear the lighter lime too, I love the stronger tone featured against a 'blackberry' top to suit the overall deeper more blended shades of Autumn.

When lime is shown in a print (below) it's subtle, classic and classy.    

How to wear lime for a WINTER!

A swatch color fan can't possibly include every single shade but you will see a light LIME included below.

At first site lovely Lime can appear as a strange bed fellow with the Cool tones of Winter. But the extra acidity and contrast that Acid Lime provides makes it a great addition to the Winter palette, particularly in the Summer months when it adds a tropical touch.

Not everyone can wear the Bright Yellow of Winter and, if not, then the acidity of lime can make a stunning appearance. Keep the contrast levels high and pair with bright White and, without resorting to black, try Charcoal grey.
