Lime screen online: #BFFF00 at full screen
Lime here is #BFFF00 — green at maximum with red high and blue at zero, which lands it between yellow and green. It is one of the most attention-grabbing colours a display can show, which is why high-visibility clothing uses something very close to it.
Note that the CSS colour keyword `lime` is actually #00FF00, the same as pure green. This page uses the everyday sense of the word — the yellow-green of the fruit — rather than the CSS keyword. The green screen page covers #00FF00.
How to get a full screen lime background
Press the fullscreen button on the player above, or the F key. Escape returns you to the page. On a desktop browser F11 does the same job and hides the browser's own toolbars as well.
The colour box is a control, not a picture: use the hex field to enter any value, pick another shade from the palette, or download the current colour as a PNG at your screen's resolution. Whatever you set is written into the address bar, so the link you copy reproduces exactly what you are looking at.
