Default Looking for Lime

I have seen a lot of beads with a lime green and I was wondering what COE104 are people getting the best results from. I have tried encasing an opaque etc, but moretti greens dont seem to do it. I must be missing something. Any suggestions? Thanks

I think pea green is more of a lime green, unless your looking for something REALLY bright? Hmmm.. unless your looking for something more of a lighter pea green...now you got me thinking.. I'll see what I can come up with.

That looks like pea green to me and the transparent light green. I could be mistaken though, but thats what it looks like on my screen.

pea green for the opaque color and is it grass green for the transparent?

The transparent looks like green yellow to me. But the new green apple is slightly brighter. I compared the two this weekend at Frantz, and I thought yellow green was slightly olive, and apple green is just like Granny Smith apples.

Are those new colors? I just put in a big order at Sundance and didn't notice them. Otherwise, I'd have less money in my pocket.

If you want REALLY neon (which is NOT the color on those beads) the old ASK neon green is bright, bright, bright.
A darker bright green is the odd (and hard-to-find) parrot green. Key-lime green is bright too (and another hard-to-find odd )
But, what Sondra/Coyote's Family said--the pea green/grass green transparent is what's likely on that set--'cause I'm fairly sure that's a considerably older set of Corina's, yes? (like, 4 or 5 years ago?? before most of those colors were out)

Doesn't uranium yellow also have a bright greenish tint to it? I've never melted it but the rods seen to look that way to me.

I like grass green for lime. These are grass green on opal yellow:


ETA: oops!! I just looked at those beads again and it was grass green over pea green, not opal yellow.

Apple green is new, but yellow green has been around for a long time. I love yellow green. It looks just like beach glass if you tumble etch it.

Lime is one of those colors that has a couple meanings - did you want the color of a lime or the clothing color traditionally called lime?

If you want more of the clothing color, I made a stringer of transparant emerald green over opaque grass green and it looked pretty neon.

WOW!!! Judi, that is lime green. Love that color. I'm going to have to try that. I was going to say Kiwi is a really good mix of greens but yours is great.

oops!! I just looked at those beads again and it was medium grass green (022) over pea green, not opal yellow.
Thank you Jan.

The transparent is probably light grass green transparent. Unfortunately, the last two batches of light grass transparent that I've purchased looked NOTHING like light grass...it was more like something between light emerald and medium grass. I was totally disappointed with the color. If you have light grass transparent and it looks dark and not like a light peridot color, you probably have the off-color batch.

Thanks Judi, I'll have to try it.

I found out something else interesting about the lt. grass green, you can use it after you have burn in silver leaf and where ever you put it will spread the silver out. It acts much like the light trans turquoise in that respect.

I agree chuckie - I ordered that green twice because I was sure I must have ordered the wrong color.!!

Pale Emerald Green is 031, the Yellow Green is 071 and is a lot more yellow than the 031.
