In this palette the hues fall in the green, violet and red families, spread across 245 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.
