chartreuse
Related terms: yellow-green
A strongly greenish-yellow facade color between yellow and lime green, represented by hex triplet C0FF00.
Chartreuse is a mixture of green and yellow, about halfway between the subtractive primary yellow and the additive primary green (or lime green). It is darker than pear, but still light compared to most shades. It is not a common facade color.
Hex triplet: C0FF00
The green contribution is stronger than in pear. The color remains within the existing yellow family. The hex triplet is a comparison sample for a range of similar facade colors, rather than an exact-match requirement.
