I have never been asked for a lime green cake and everywhere I ask, they say to use leaf green, is this a good choice, the cake is 2 weeks away, and is all fondant. Anything would be helpful. Thanks in Advance! 
Cake Craft also has a lime green gel color that is very nice.
If you do end-up using Wilton colors, try adding lemon yellow to the leaf green. I've used this combo before with buttercream and it's worked great. I don't do a lot with fondant, so I don't know if it will work with that so I would definitely do a trial run!
Definitely do not use straight leaf green....not even close to lime. Like the people above have said - Americolor has the best Electric green - I use it all the time. In a pinch, mix some yellow with the leaf green, but it's not the same as the electric colors!
I have a lime green fondant covered cake next month! Must be popular!
You can also try Crystal Colors - I know Country Kitchen - countrykitchensa . com is prompt to ship. They have one called "Lime" that I used for this cake.

Sorry, I couldn't get the image link right. There are actually two in my photos, the Lime Green and Pink Daisies (Round) and the two-tier square with brown ribbon and daisies.

Sorry to go off topic but I LOVE your cake!
This cake was done with Americolors electric green. I used a bit less than I would for, say, a birthday cake.
Thanks you all!! this was very helpful!! I am goin to call americolor tomorrow..Thank 
you!!
Well, since your ordering from Americolor you probably don't need to know this. But, to get lime green you do use leaf green but add lemon yellow.

Thanks, mamawrobin, I've been considering lime green for a cake I'm doing for a little local challenge and didn't leave myself enough time to order anything. Wilton Leaf Green and Lemon Yellow it is!

You're welcome Elcee..I make lemon yellow fondant first then add the leaf green a little at a time to get the color I want. It's actually more yellow than green. I used this for the lime green on my zebra cake.
I mix colors for most of my icing.....you don't have to use just one color to get the shade you desire.

Me too, classic! In fact, I only own three colors...red, blue and yellow. I can get any color I want just mixing different combinations and proportions of these three colors. Learning this skill saves you TONS of money!
