Try a strand test. I think you'll need to fade it more. The more pink it is, the more it will pull to the blue side, until yes, it might start turning brown. I'm not sure how pigmented adore lime green is, so I have no real idea how much pink is too much, so go for a strand test. I do think you'd be best to try and fade more though, I think that is still too much pink, most greens aren't too strong.

Lime green is a very translucent dye, if that makes sense. On blonde hair it comes out looking super bright, but over any other colour the base shows through it a lot. I would not recommend putting it over pink.

But you can always stand test and see like Janine suggested πŸ™‚

If that's the case, I wouldn't bother and just fade it as much as you can before anything else! Pink to green is quite tough if you want a true green.

Hi Nice Friends! I wanted to show you end result though this has changed dramatically since.. but incase anyone could possibly use this in the future. I faded for a couple more days and then came out with this green. Was pretty happy with results until I got bored again. Thanks for advice !
