amarelolimão

Amarelolimão is a neologism in Portuguese that blends the words amarelo (yellow) and limão (lime or lemon). The term is used chiefly in informal online discourse and in design contexts to describe a color shade that sits between yellow and lime green. It does not have an official standing in standard color references and its precise hue can vary depending on who uses it.

In practical use, amarelolimão emphasizes brightness and vivacity, often deployed to convey energy, youthfulness, or a playful mood in branding, packaging, and digital media. It can appear in product names, color palettes, or as a descriptive label in blogs and social networks. Beyond color, some communities use amarelolimão as a humorous or fictional label for objects or fruits, akin to a portmanteau nickname, without implying a real botanical variety.

The term exemplifies linguistic creativity in contemporary Portuguese, reflecting how speakers coin descriptors for colors that fall between established categories. Its meaning can be context-dependent, so for formal communication one should prefer conventional color terms (amarelo, verde limão, limão) to avoid ambiguity.
