I had a droid torso once that was that same lighter color, that I
decided must have been Medium Lime. I sold it for $3.50 because I had no idea
what it was worth. Their is no information on the part or this weird color.
This might be something to take to the LEGO Customer Service and see if this
mystery can be solved!

Just to be clear: you opened 4 brand new sets which were the same 14-year-old
set. Three of these sets had the parts in one shade of green, presumably lime,
and the 4th set had all those same parts in a different (lighter) shade of green?
If the shade can be definitely identified, then feel free to add those parts
as alternates to the lime parts.

I opened 3 brand new sets which were the same 14-year-old set. Two of these
sets had the parts in one shade of green, presumably lime, and the 3rd set had
all those same parts in a different (lighter) shade of green.
But I don't know if it has a name. I had noticed neon green, but have nothing
to compare to it.

I'm going to make a wild guess that the assembly facility (likely Enfield
in those days) ran out of a part in a certain color, asked Billund what do we
do now, and were told (based on what was readily available) to use a similar
color.
Having said that, you should look at this …
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1096474
Those parts were from the Walgreen's 2003 bonus boxes, and were (at the time)
presumed to be out of tolerance factory rejects. It may shed a little light on
what you are seeing.

Also, these parts are what we considered 'Lime' back in 2004.

Is Neon Green the answer to this color? The droid torso I sold is on wanted
lists in this color. The only weird thing about this color and Neon Orange,
is that their is no information as to where these colors originated, what sets
they are in, or the time they were released.

Neon Green and Neon Orange were ONLY ever used in watch parts. Watch links, round
watch faces... very neon and glowy looking

Ryan,
According to your color chart (http://ryanhowerter.net/colors.html) it looks
like it could just be a production difference, as there were 3 shades of lime
14 years ago.
Medium Lime (1998-2005), Color ID : 115 (Lego), 76 (BL)
Light Lime (1998-2007), Color ID : 120 (Lego), 35 (BL)
Lime (1998-present), Color ID : 119 (Lego) , 34 (BL)

The only question I have is what crummy set from 14 years ago, didn't appreciate,
in enough value that it is being parted out vs sold as a complete set?

Per the inventory for set (5941), these parts are Medium Lime - not Lime,
so there is an official colour for the lighter pieces. I am not sure why
three of this set included these parts in Lime, rather than in Medium Lime, but
they should probably be added to the inventory as Alternates.

There are a LOT of color variations in this set. The others are more stark.

I just saw that - the Lime pieces should definitely be added as Alternates.
