A Splash of Lime Green - a photo on Flickriver

Lime green is a color between yellow and green, so named because it is a representation of the color of the citrus fruit called limes.
It is the color that is half way between the web color chartreuse and yellow on the color wheel.
Lime green is a color that is 75% yellow and 25% green.
The first recorded use of lime green as a color name in English was in 1905.

It is said that lime green brings a sense of anticipation at all the possibilities and opportunities the world offers.
It a llows us to be perceptive and non judgmental.
This color inspires us to try new things by initiating change.

I took this picture this afternoon at a few meters from Bivi Razaia Masjid, a small mosque, which is in the chawk of Varanasi (Benaras).
I came to give a few pictures that I did last week to Mister Khan who is dyeing sarees.
His son wanted to show me this one which was drying on the upper terrace.
It was a splash of lime green which gave me happiness and energy.
