acid green

Vivid yellow-green shade

Acid green is a vivid, intense yellow-green that seems almost fluorescent—the color of highlighter ink, certain lichens, or antifreeze.

The name suggests something chemical or artificial rather than natural, evoking the lurid greens of toxic substances or radioactive glow in cartoons: an acid green manicure, acid green sneakers.
