Magnetic and a little funky Cyber Lime

Cyber Lime: This color was for centuries kept away from food and cosmetics packaging as it was considered a subconscious symbol of radiation or even toxicity. Food & cosmetic companies thought: “Who on earth would like to eat or use a product that looked radioactive green?”

Why Cyber Lime is key for fashion & interiors beyond packaging: Cyber Lime is a punchy near-neon that can exert and energize the body and mind. This hyper-bright green aligns with fantasy realms and brings with it a powerful narrative of magic and fiction. Has a strong connection between nature and technology. It appeals to a greater emphasis on designing with nature, which is driving new bio-based color and material innovations in fashion . Lime greens are also present in sensory, protopian digital worlds that blend organic forms with synthetic realism.

How to use it: This zesty lime is already gaining traction as a gender-inclusive, dopamine-inducing bright in the premium and youth fashion sector. Move it into fitness, outdoor, footwear, accessories categories, and apply it as an accent or as a statement solid color. This vibrant bright is perfect for metaverse beauty, virtual interiors and gaming products. It can also be used for home interiors, retail, packaging, tech accessories, e-bikes and scooters.

As we see, towards 2025, the application of Cyber Lime in fashion is less graphic, more romantic and less obvious.
