Mike Vines had a website that you could get florescent paints that came in a ton of colors, the best part is that they glow in the dark. they were 2oz bottles. You can also take your feather to Ace hardware and color match it with some spray paints, our store has a vast collection of florescent and other high vis colors. just dont use the marking paint for construction jobs it doesnt go well with top coats. also automotive stores can carry some for those wacky kid custom cars.

True North has a point that matches up to these pretty well also.

Fletchlac saturn yellow is pretty close to a lime chartruse. Dip over a base of white.

If you can't find the paint your looking for, I'd suggest looking at wraps. Lot's of them in lime green.

I took one of these feathers to Home Depot and they matched to color for me.  They did a pretty decent job, and this sample was around $3.

Bohning Saturn Yellow...more of a chartruese color. They will look great...see below. Partial chart dip and white/flo green feathers (AMG)

Rust-Oleum Painter Touch series in Key Lime color is a mighty close match.

How about some cresting paint, not spray, in Flo lime or yellow?
