In this palette the hues fall in the blue and orange families, spread across 193 degrees of the OKLCH hue circle. Neon palettes keep chroma between 0.2 and 0.3, and lightness between 72% and 92%, which is why the set feels consistent.

That combination suits gaming and esports, nightlife flyers and technology launches, and it is a good fit when you want a design to feel playful, arcade-bright and fast.

Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #D0EAFD and #BDDCFC may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #D0EAFD and #BDDCFC may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under tritanopia (reduced blue sensitivity), #D0EAFD and #BDDCFC may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #D0EAFD as the background, #FEAD71 for cards and surfaces, #F99A2E as the primary brand color, #BDDCFC as the accent, and #071D2C for text (a computed darker shade of Cornflower, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Give one side of the wheel to the background and structure and the other to calls to action. A small amount of the opposing hue goes a long way.
