Lime green, explained
Lime green is a yellow-leaning green. It sits between olive and parrot green, bright enough to look fresh in daylight but softer than a neon shade. Neem is listed as olive green, and in the photographs it reads as a warm lime with golden yellow tones, especially on the pallu. Screens show this colour differently, so treat the photos as a guide and expect a slight shift in person.
The motifs, the pallu and the tassels
The body carries small square motifs spaced across the green. They are pale gold and silvery in tone, so they catch light without crowding the fabric. On the pallu the squares grow into larger blocks, and the pallu shades towards golden yellow. A narrow band in the same golden tone runs at the hem, and short tassels finish the pallu end. When you drape it, let the pallu fall open so the bigger blocks show.
Why linen tissue suits long days
-
Breathable fibre: linen comes from flax and tends to feel cool on the skin, which helps in heat and in crowded rooms.
-
Light tissue weave: there is little bulk, so pleating and walking in it is easier than in a heavy silk.
-
A little crispness: linen tends to hold pleats better than very soft fabrics, so the drape stays neat through the day.
-
Power loom weave: this saree is not handloom. If handwoven matters to you, see our handwoven sarees.
Blouse and jewellery pairing
A yellow-leaning green looks best when the blouse is deeper and darker, because that calms the brightness. The saree is shown in the photos with a deep maroon sleeveless blouse.
| Deep maroon or wine blouse |
The pairing shown in the photos. Rich against the lime and good for festive days. |
| Navy blouse |
A cooler contrast that makes the green stand out. |
| Brown or rust blouse |
Earthy and easy for daytime wear. |
| Cream or ivory blouse |
Lighter and better for hot afternoons. |
Our Chicory satin blouse is shown as a pairing on this page, and you can see more in our blouse collection. Oxidised silver jewellery, like the bangles and rings in the photos, suits the silvery motifs.
When to wear it
- Summer lunches and daytime get-togethers
- Mehendi and haldi functions where you are a guest
- Daytime puja and family functions
- Brunches, gallery visits and travel days when you want a light saree

Care instructions
Dry clean only. Linen creases easily, and light creasing is part of its look, so ask your dry cleaner to press it. Fold the saree in a soft cotton cloth and store it away from damp. Keep it out of long direct sunlight so the colour stays even, and handle the tassels gently so they do not tangle.
