Either repaint it with an actual lime green, or go over it with a glaze that's a brighter shade than what you have already painted and combines with it to create lime green. If you use a glaze, you have an opportunity to add some pattern and/or faux texture to the wall, depending on the method you choose to apply it with. You might have to experiment with glazes to get the effect you want, and you can either buy the glaze ready-made or make your own using watered down paint or paint combined with Flo-Trol (can get at the hardware store and directs you on label as to how much to combine with the paint). If you make your own glaze and have leftover paint, you can combine the leftover paint with a much brighter green, make it into glaze, then apply. CAUTION: If you make your own glaze, make sure you make enough the first time to cover the wall. If you make more than one batch, the color is almost impossible to match.
Good luck! (:

Id go to a hardware store and talk to someone that deals with the paint...their may be a way to add to the color to make it more "lime"... other than that, the only thing I can think of would be to repaint with the color that you do want

Not much you can do, except repaint the room. Did you match the paint with a swatch, if so and the color didn't turn out right, you might be entitled to a refund.

If you have any cans lift unopened you could return what's left of the paint and then redo it, and if you plan to do that, you should pick a color that's a few shades lighter than the color you actually want, and then you'll get the results you're looking for.

You already have a green base coat, go back and get lime or chartreuse. Repaint.

add some yellow paint and maybe some white. But mix a small omount first, and then mix all the paint. You dont want two walls being different colours

Go to Home Depot and ask them what you can add. It may be as simple as mixing the two together and doing another coat.
