Without a hyphen? I think this is that sort of coalminism (PROTOLOGISM, you saw it here first) where a hyphenated form exists but somebody wants to really ground it by making an entry for the solid form nobody uses. But prove me wrong. Make damn sure you check for line-break scannos though. Equinox ◑ 16:28, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

- I found an interesting pattern. All but one instance of "lemonlime" that I found used it to refer to a colour: this, this, this, this, and this. I only found one instance of the colour that used a hyphen, and that was at a line break. Here is the single instance of "lemonlime" that did not refer to a colour.
