A match of Sherwin Williams SW1705 Wild Lime reads as a light, clear yellow-green with a strong lime character. It has a warm yellow bias, but the green is still very present, so the color looks fresh rather than muted. With its moderate lightness and noticeable chroma, it stands out as a brighter accent color without becoming overly dark or muddy.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW1705 Wild Lime is well suited to small painted parts where a vivid color can be carried cleanly across the surface. It can be used on switch covers, speaker grilles, vent registers, brackets, shelf edges, frames, baskets, mailboxes, shutters, hardware, and PVC trim pieces. It also works for removable accessories, display parts, and other sprayable components that need a consistent lime-green reference across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.
Because this is a fairly vivid color, coverage may be less forgiving on dark, uneven, or highly contrasting substrates and may take additional coats to reach even color. Surface texture, film build, and finish can all shift how bright or green the color appears, and glossier finishes can make surface flaws and sheen differences more noticeable. Outdoor exposure can also be harder on stronger colors than on quieter neutrals, so proper prep and coating choice matter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1705 Wild Lime *
How should I confirm SW1705 Wild Lime before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm SW1705 Wild Lime from a physical Sherwin Williams swatch, an original brand sample, or another known color reference before you order. Screen images can shift depending on display settings, so they are not a reliable way to verify the target.
MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference, not Sherwin Williams' original paint. If the project depends on a very specific look, verify the exact SW1705 Wild Lime reference first, then choose the MyPerfectColor format that fits your application.
Will SW1705 Wild Lime look the same in matte and gloss MyPerfectColor finishes?
No. A match of Sherwin Williams SW1705 Wild Lime can read differently as the finish changes because matte, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss reflect light in different ways. The color match target stays the same, but the finished appearance on the part can change with sheen.
If you need a specific look for a fixture, trim piece, or removable part, choose the finish based on how much reflectivity and cleanability you want, then expect the same SW1705 Wild Lime match to appear slightly different across finishes.
Can SW1705 Wild Lime be used on plastic parts, and what should I check first?
A match of Sherwin Williams SW1705 Wild Lime can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for many plastic projects, but plastic types vary and adhesion can differ a lot. Test the actual part first if possible, especially on low-energy plastics where paint may not grip as well.
For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before painting. That extra prep is especially important on plastic items such as covers, housings, trim pieces, or other molded parts where surface bonding is critical.
Which sheen should I order for SW1705 Wild Lime in MyPerfectColor paint?
Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how much surface reflection you want. Lower sheens usually reduce glare and can hide small surface flaws better, while higher sheens are easier to clean and reflect more light.
For SW1705 Wild Lime, the sheen also affects how the color reads on the finished object. If you are matching a removable part, fixture, or accessory, pick the sheen that best fits the surface conditions and the cleaning needs of that item.
What prep should I do before applying SW1705 Wild Lime over metal or an existing coating?
Before applying SW1705 Wild Lime, clean the metal or existing coating well, remove dust and contamination, and scuff the surface if needed so the new coating can bond properly. Rust, loose paint, and glossy or uneven old coatings can all affect the final result.
The condition of the base surface can change how SW1705 Wild Lime looks after it dries, even when the color match itself is correct. If the item has an older coating, test a small area first and make sure the surface is sound before ordering a full custom match for the project.
