I would start with lemon yellow and add a tiny bit of leaf green.

Bows usually only need about 24 yours to dry depending on how thick they are. Be sure to keep the loops supported with tissue or something.

To make Neon Green start with lemon yellow and a very very small dab of blue to start. Only add a small amount of blue until you get the color you want. I use Royal Blue.

I just tried making a lime green, and it turned out to be more of a bright mint. Oh well. I told the customer I my version would not look exactly like the pic she sent me, but I really would have liked to be able to get closer to mine! I was afraid to mess with it too much and end up wit ha puke color that I would have to start over again!
