In this palette the hues fall in the yellow and violet families, spread across 191 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.

Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #FEE550 and #E6DA11 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #FEE550 and #E6DA11 and #B4BEF9 and #B6A9FA may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under tritanopia (reduced blue sensitivity), #FEE550 and #E6DA11 and #B4BEF9 and #B6A9FA may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #FEE550 as the background, #B4BEF9 for cards and surfaces, #E6DA11 as the primary brand color, #B6A9FA as the accent, and #1F1B03 for text (a computed darker shade of Mustard, 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.
