Lemon or lemon yellow is a color somewhat resembling yellow and named after the fruit. It is similar to the color school bus yellow.

The color "lemon yellow" is sometimes misinterpreted as a neon color (somewhat like the color chartreuse yellow shown below in the shades of yellow color template but more yellowish) but is actually related closely to the simple, plain yellow because it is a representation of the color of the outer skin of the lemon fruit, which is quite close to ordinary yellow. The neon conception of the color lemon yellow is represented by the Crayola crayon color "ultra yellow", aka "laser lemon" (See the List of Crayola crayon colors).
