Frequently Asked Questions
How does Key Lime differ from Citron Yellow?
Citron Yellow is yellow-dominant with a green edge; Key Lime sits firmly on the green side with a fresh citrus tartness. On lime-green fabrics Key Lime reads truer, while acid-yellow fabrics call for Citron Yellow. Together they cover the full citrus yellow-green range.
Is Key Lime too bright for a soft summer quilt?
It depends on the palette. Key Lime is vivid, so on soft pastel summer quilts Pistachio or Mint Julep will integrate more gently. Reserve Key Lime for palettes with saturated fruit brights — lemon, tangerine, hot pink — where its energy matches the fabrics.
What citrus palette can I build entirely in Glide?
Lemon for the yellow, Key Lime for the green, Tangerine for the orange, and Pink Lemonade or Flamingo for the grapefruit note. A white or Yellow Whisper near-neutral ties the palette together in sashing and background areas.
