ColorCollectLime scavenger hunt: 18 things to find
Lime is green pushed to neon — the color of new leaves, tennis balls, and high-vis jackets. It's nature's "brand new" signal in spring and the city's "look at me" signal all year round.

How to hunt lime
Two guaranteed sources: safety wear and sports equipment. Any building site, any cyclist, any tennis court will hand you lime on demand. The natural version only shows up for a few weeks in spring, when new leaves are still translucent — backlight them and they glow.
What lime gets confused with
If it is calmer and darker, it is green. If it loses the green edge entirely, it is yellow. Lime is the one that looks almost artificially bright.
