People named Lemon or similarly:
Lemon is a color somewhat resembling yellow and named after the lemon fruit. The color lemon is a representation of the color of the outer skin of a lemon.
The first recorded use of lemon as a color name in English was in 1598.
The color lemon yellow is sometimes misinterpreted as a neon color (somewhat like the color chartreuse yellow shown below in the shades of yellow color template but more yellowish) but is actually related closely to the simple, plain yellow because it is a representation of the color of the outer skin of the lemon, which is quite close to and actually somewhat brighter than ordinary yellow. The neon conception of the color lemon yellow is represented by the Crayola crayon laser lemon, shown below.
Cultural uses
Lemon is the color of the library science discipline for academic regalia in the United States.

"The Market for Lemons: Quality Uncertainty and the Market Mechanism" is a 1970 paper by the economist George Akerlof which examines how the quality of goods traded in a market can degrade in the presence of information asymmetry between buyers and sellers, leaving only "lemons" behind. A lemon is an American slang term for a car that is found to be defective only after it has been bought.
Suppose buyers can't distinguish between a high-quality car (a "peach") and a "lemon". Then they are only willing to pay a fixed price for a car that averages the value of a "peach" and "lemon" together (pavg). But sellers know whether they hold a peach or a lemon. Given the fixed price at which buyers will buy, sellers will sell only when they hold "lemons" (since plemon < pavg) and they will leave the market when they hold "peaches" (since ppeach > pavg).
Thus the uninformed buyer's price creates an adverse selection problem that drives the high-quality cars from the market. Adverse selection is the market mechanism that leads to a market collapse.

A tennis tournament is organized into matches between players (for singles tournaments) or teams of two players (for doubles tournaments). The matches of a tournament are grouped into rounds. In round 1, all players (or teams) are paired and play against each other in matches. The losers are said to leave, or be out. They no longer compete in the tournament (this is single elimination). The winners are again paired to play in the matches of the next round. The tournament continues until the quarterfinal round (having eight players or teams playing in pairs), then the semifinal round (having four players or teams playing in pairs), and finally the final round (having only two players or teams) are played. The winner of the final round is declared the winner of the entire tournament.
A tennis match is composed of points, games, and sets. A match is won when a player or a doubles team wins the majority of prescribed sets. Traditionally, matches are either a best of three sets or best of five sets format. The best of five set format is typically only played in the Men's singles or doubles matches at Majors and Davis Cup matches.
