Making Key-lime pie for the first time ever....?

I can get lime juice from any store, i would have to drive a bit further to get the keylimes or keylime juice from another store...how crucial is it that i use keylimes vs reg limes? i want it to be good because its my first time making it. thank you in advance

Answer:

Add a little brown or beige.
add a little bit of white or light grey
Blue and yellow make green. Adding a bit of blue. If you want a muddy green add brown. This is actually a nice color. Good luck!
I guessing that your lime green is too bright of a color and you want to tone it down? Here's how: Bring your paint to the paint store (make sure you have enough to finish the job) Ask the paint attendant to add red oxide colorant to it to tone down the green-start with the smallest amount and have them to dry a sample of the original color and new color on a piece of paper so you could see the difference) add more colorant if needed, its important to add colorant gradually, there is no point of return if too much is added. If the green is too yellow, use purple colorant green too blue, use orange White does not tone down the color just lightens it and it will take alot of white to make a difference. They may charge you a fee (nominal) for doing this but its alot cheaper that buying a new gallon. Good luck.
Add some light grey to it, or is it arleady on the wall?
