A mélange of lemon and lime, this electric elixir nearly glows with a sharp and brilliant tension that is impossibly invigorating in its vivacity. Its acidity is sharp, crisp, and cutting edge, making it fiercely attention-seeking in its truest potency yet still amiable and refreshingly lively. This avant-garde and unconventional hue is a powerhouse prima donna, always taking center stage. But, fear not, it plays well with an equally lively supporting cast like magenta, teal, or vermillion, or subdued charcoal gray, inky blue, or maroon. A slight tinge of more green quenches and placates, whereas an undertone of brown or gray can take this hue from lightning-bolt electric to ever-so-slightly earthy in its range while still maintaining its powerful punch. Chartreuse is, without a doubt, a most confident color choice.
