has lime/electirc green & blue.
There is also a lime green powdered color - can't think of the brand.
thanks kakeladi but im limited to access to cake anything, i have a Michaels and Hobby Lobby where im at and i dont have time to order its due Thursday, I quoted you on the topic of the newbies question on Time line on cakes i need to know if you store your finished cakes with out the decorations on them in a box or do you just leave them out on the counter until time to deliver if i put my torted and filled cakes in a cake keeper they get too moist and the icing wont stickvery well, Thanks for your valuable info
I think the ratio is 5 parts yellow to 1 part green if you need to mix from normal colors on hand. That's how I did the green in my dirtbike cake. Just made some yellow and some green and mixed the two in that ratio. Then I was able to get some electric green americolor to do the board and they matched perfectly.
HTH!

I usually use the Lime powder color, but if I'm out of that I use a mixture of green and yellow. Start with Green, but don't make it too dark (you can always add more, but you can't take it out), then add Yellow (Lemon Yellow if you have it) The more yellow you put the more lime color it will be. Also you can try the Leaf Paste Color and add a touch of Lemon color. Hope this helps.
I made mine with electric yellow and lt blue.
thanks Chikie , i will try that i dont need to much just enough for the # 18

I'm glad this came up -- lime green has always posed a problem for me. Thanks for all the input! 
I love Americolor's electric green right out of the bottle!
