While many of the examples cite lime as a chemical, building, or culinary substance, a few literary passages harness lime in its coloristic sense—mostly through the evocative term “lime-light.” In these instances, “lime” conjures a bright, almost luminous green hue that has become synonymous with theatrical brilliance and public exposure. For example, one author refers to “lime-light man” to suggest the dazzling, almost gaudy glow of the stage spotlight [1], while another speaks of seeing “all the bare boards and the lime light” to evoke an atmosphere both stark and exaggerated [2]. A further reference associates passionate love with the clamor of “lime-light and crowded audiences,” linking the vivid color to the intense glare of celebrity and performance [3]. Through these uses, literature transforms lime’s technical origins into a symbol of visibility, flamboyance, and the sometimes harsh spotlight of life.
