Lime Paint Colours

Looking for an easy way to bring new life to your interiors? Lime paint colours will make a welcome addition to any palette. Inspired by natural pigments, these citrus-infused colours will leave any room of the home feeling fresh and energised. 

Today we’re focusing on statement-making paint colours that combine the best elements of green and yellow. Yes, you guessed it, we are talking about lime paint colours.

The right shade of lime can turn a living room into a vibrant space for entertaining, while a zesty citrus hue can reinvigorate wall surfaces in a kitchen. 

However, you can use lime to decorate just about any room. At Tikkurila, you’ll find a huge selection of lime paint colours to choose from. Keep it simple with a pared-back neutral for a relaxing bedroom interior, or go all out with a yellow-infused shade to overhaul a reception area. 

Not sure if lime green is the right choice for your space? Take smaller steps by going for a pastel colour instead. Tvt F380 is a more muted take on lime, working well with everything from stone grey to forest greens. 

Great for bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces alike, you’ll have plenty of fun decorating with this one. For a more relaxing interior, think about pairing it with hardwood flooring, natural materials and other rustic room accents. 

If you’re ready to embrace a more intense shade, go with a dark lime like Tvt K381. A fine choice for living rooms, this dramatic green pairs well with white trims, but can also be combined with more conventional greens for tonal decor schemes. 

A welcome addition to old buildings and more contemporary spaces, this energising colour can also be used alongside neutrals. Incredibly versatile, this lime colour works well alongside everything from exposed brick to stained oak. 

Here’s another classic lime paint colour we know you’ll love. Tvt K382 won’t overwhelm the senses but still brings plenty of citrus-inspired character to any room. 
You can easily balance things out with a classic grey, or lean into the green pigment by adding leafy hues and safes into the mix. 

If your interiors are in desperate need of brightening up, it’s best to use a lime that boasts unmistakable yellow undertones. Tvt K383 is an obvious candidate, with this medium green colour backed by a hint of yellow. 

Use one coat on every surface, then round things off with a classic neutral or pure white. Alternatively, pair it with a light khaki or other yellow-infused greens. 

Colour Schemes With Lime Shades

While lime is often considered a daring choice, it’s fairly easy to work with this eye-catching colour. Below, we’ve picked out some of our favourite colour scheme combinations that lime front and centre. 

Classic neutrals like cream always work well with lime. Meanwhile, a hint of blue will always pair well with anything from the green colour family. 

Start with a subtle lime green like Tvt J388. This paint colour has plenty of yellow character, making it even more compatible with creams and blue shades.

Don’t be afraid to use a bold blue when decorating with this lime paint colour. Denim N429 is a good choice, but it’s best to use this one in moderation to avoid it overwhelming your space. 

Finally, reach for an airy cream like Jasmine F503 for those finishing touches. Because it has yellow undertones of its own, it’s an effortless companion to lime.

If you’re using lime, it’s tempting to avoid using other greens in your colour schemes. However, lime always plays well alongside other shades from its colour family. 

Start with a pale lime like Tvt F380. Perfect for bedrooms, living spaces and bathrooms alike, it’s a versatile choice and easy on the eye. 

Next, bring a softer green into the mix. Something like Lotus F448 is a fine choice, adding to the complexity of your space, without flooding it with pigment. 

Finally, go in a slightly different direction with a paint colour like Tide L491. While this is technically a sea green shade, it has unmistakable undertones of blue that pair beautifully with lime and more dynamic greens. 

If you’re not afraid of more intense lime greens, you can be a bit more daring with your secondary colours. 

Start with a dark lime like Tvt K381. This stunning colour makes the perfect addition to a retro-inspired room, but it also works well as the founding block of a contemporary decor scheme. 

You’ll need a low-key neutral to balance things out. Try using an off-white like Horseradish F390. Its grey undertones make it a fine fit with anything from the lime family, while it’s still bright enough that it will restore architrave, panelling and other room accents. 

For feature walls and recesses, think about using another dark colour. Nephrite N494 is worth considering, with this dark sage green helping ground the intense pigments of rich lime. 

Where Should I Use Lime Paint Colours?

Lime paint colours have long been used to decorate kitchens and commercial spaces. However, there’s no reason why you can’t use them throughout our home. 

Are you eager to bring some citrus energy to a living space? Even if your walls are coated in an off-white or neutral shade, you can use lime green to accent recesses and other details. 

Looking to overhaul your kitchen? Lime green paint colours work particularly well here. Use a lighter shade if your space is kitted out with white cabinets, or experiment with a darker hue if your units are made from oak. 

A pale lime can also be used to decorate tranquil spaces like the bedroom or bathroom. Promoting a sense of calm and well-being, they’re just the ticket if you struggle to drift off at night.
