What is a lime screen?
A lime screen is simply a web page filled edge to edge with one solid color — Lime, hex #00FF00, or rgb(0, 255, 0). It is a very light, cool color: in HSL it sits at 120° hue, 100% saturation and 50% lightness, and its relative luminance is 71.5%. lime is one of the standard CSS color names, so it renders identically in every browser.
Lime screen at a glance
How a full-screen lime (#00FF00) behaves as a light, a test pattern and a background — measured from the color itself.
| Brightness | 72% of a white screen | Bright enough to use as a light source or fill light. |
|---|---|---|
| Blue light | very low (0% of its light) | Very little blue light, so it is gentle on your body clock at night. |
| Night use | Better for daytime | For a night light, turn the brightness down or choose a warmer screen such as red or orange. |
| Text on it | Black text · 15.3:1 | Excellent contrast for captions or signs (WCAG AAA). |
| Display test | green at full power, red and blue switched off | A dead green sub-pixel shows as a dark dot. A stuck-on red or blue sub-pixel shows as a bright speck. |
What people use a lime screen for
Use it as a green screen for video
Fill a spare monitor, tablet or TV with pure green and you have a compact chroma-key backdrop. It is enough to key out a hand, a small object or a head-and-shoulders shot in streaming software like OBS, or in a video-call background replacement, when a full cloth green screen is overkill.
Spot panel non-uniformity and stuck pixels
The eye is more sensitive to green than to red or blue, so a flat green field is the most revealing test for clouding, banding and mura across a panel, as well as for stuck green pixels.
Calm ambient and accent lighting
A softer green screen makes a relaxed ambient light for a desk or a plant shelf, and a themed backdrop for photos and video.
As a test pattern, a flat lime field makes a dead or stuck pixel jump out, and it exercises the green sub-pixel.
