About this palette
Arcade Coral Umbra is palette number 1,445 of Tintly's fifteen million generated palettes. It is a neon palette built on a tetradic scheme, and it is anchored by Coral (#F7774D), the most saturated of its five colors.
The palette reads as hot, loud and impossible to ignore. Its colors run from Pink (#FED9E6) at the light end to Coral (#F7774D) at the dark end, covering 71% to 92% perceptual lightness, so it has real range rather than five similar tones.

Harmony and structure
Four hues are spaced around the wheel in two complementary pairs. It is the richest scheme, and the hardest to balance.
In this palette the hues fall in the rose, yellow, teal, blue and red families, spread across 316 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.
Temperature and mood
Overall the palette is warm: 3 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 1 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.122 makes the saturation rich.
That combination suits gaming and esports, nightlife flyers and technology launches, and it is a good fit when you want a design to feel hot, loud and impossible to ignore.
Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Pink (#FED9E6) with Coral (#F7774D) at a contrast ratio of 2.11:1, which is below the WCAG AA minimum of 4.5:1. Across all 10 possible pairs, 0 reach the 4.5:1 AA level for normal text and 0 more reach 3:1 for large text.
No other palette color reaches 4.5:1 on the background (#FED9E6), so this page suggests #2A140C for text, a darkened Coral that reaches 13.52:1. Check any pair you use in the contrast checker.
Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #FED9E6 and #41E2C4 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #FED9E6 as the background, #41E2C4 for cards and surfaces, #FBCE4D as the primary brand color, #95B2FC as the accent, and #2A140C for text (a computed darker shade of Coral, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Let one hue take most of the space and use the others sparingly. Control the mood with lightness and saturation rather than hue.
Typical uses for a neon palette include gaming and esports, nightlife flyers, technology launches and music visuals. Open it in the generator to lock the colors you love and reroll the rest, or in the visualizer to see it on real layouts.
