Warm bright green is the Bright Spring leaf green: a clear yellow-green with enough saturation to read as a color from across a room. It sits three points from True Spring's grass green, so the two seasons share it, and it is too yellow and too loud for any Summer or Winter.
Warm bright green is an anchor color in Bright Spring. Its closest relative outside the palette is Grass green #6FBF3B, a True Spring color, at a perceptual distance of 3. That is near enough for that season to wear it as a neutral, with the accents kept in its own palette.
At RGB 122, 196, 66 the green leads by a long way, the red is well above the blue, and the blue is low. The red sitting that far above the blue is what makes it a yellow-green rather than an emerald, and the low blue is what keeps it warm. It is the green of a new leaf or a Granny Smith skin, never the green of a pine. Add blue and it moves toward Bright Spring's own warm emerald; add grey and it becomes the moss green that belongs to True Autumn.
A Bright Spring wears it as an accent with real presence: a sweater, a dress, a bag, a pair of trousers in summer. It is one of the season's easier greens to wear because the yellow in it agrees with warm skin. It works best with warm ivory, camel and warm navy, and it is one of the few colors that sits well next to Bright Spring's coral red without the pairing looking like a holiday.
Retail makes this green in spring and resort drops and very little of it in fall. Boden calls its version Juicy Apple and STAUD calls one Sprout; lime, apple, kiwi and leaf are the other names to search. Chartreuse can be this color or can tip into acid yellow, so check the photo. In knitwear the color can read a shade softer than the swatch, which on a Bright Spring is still fine.
The nearest colors in other palettes are True Spring's grass green at three points and its bright warm green at six. Both are so close that most people could not tell them apart on a rail, and a True Spring can wear this one without adjustment. Light Spring's light warm green is seventeen points off and paler. The Winters' emeralds are over thirty points away and carry blue. True Autumn's moss green is over forty points away and muted, which is the difference to look for.

Yes. Warm bright green (#7AC442) is an anchor color in the Bright Spring palette, and close enough to a True Spring color for that season to wear it as a neutral.
Close. Most lime green in stores is this color or a shade more yellow. Acid lime that looks almost fluorescent is a step too far even for a Bright Spring, and lime with grey in it belongs to the Autumns. If the green looks clear and leaf-like against a white sheet of paper, it is the right one.
Yes, outright. True Spring's grass green is three points away and its bright warm green is six, both under the threshold most people can see. The two seasons buy the same leaf green; a True Spring pairs it with camel and cream, a Bright Spring with warm ivory and warm navy.
For a Bright Spring: warm ivory, camel, warm navy, golden yellow, clear warm aqua and coral red. Green with warm navy is the easiest pairing for daily wear. Avoid black, which makes the green look harsh, and cool grey, which makes it look acidic.
Warm. The red sits well above the blue, which pulls the green toward yellow. Cool greens such as emerald and pine have more blue than red. Hold it against a white in daylight: a yellow cast at the edges is the warm version, a blue cast is a Winter's.
