In the RGB color space, there has been a lot of confusion regarding the color lime. As a web color, it is listed with the hexadecimal code #00FF00. The astute amongst you will immediately raise your hands up with a question: "Shouldn't that hex code be for green?"
Yes! The X11 list, on which the web colors list is based, does in fact puts that hex code as green. However, things got muddled up somehow and now green of the web colors list is #008000 and #00FF00 is named lime.
Matte lime color doesn't come directly from RGB space. It is darker and duller than the bright color of the web world. Also, the color can only be used on web pages with HTML and/or CSS via its RGB, CMYK, HSB or hex code.
