Can I use Lime Green instead of Light Green?

Not as a straight swap; see the closer alternatives below. Loose match (ΔE 20). Lime Green is noticeably darker, much more muted, warmer than Light Green.

Can I use Light Green instead of Lime Green?

The same difference applies the other way round: Light Green is noticeably lighter, much more saturated, cooler.

ΔE is the colour difference between our two swatch estimates: under about 6 is close, over about 15 is loose. Real paints also differ in finish, coverage and how they thin, so test before you commit.
