In this palette the hues fall in the violet, red, yellow, teal and magenta families, spread across 311 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.

Overall the palette is temperature-balanced: 1 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 1 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.129 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 playful, arcade-bright and fast.
Accessibility and contrast

How to use it
Suggested roles: #E4E1FD as the background, #FEBEBC for cards and surfaces, #D7CC1A as the primary brand color, #11CAC9 as the accent, and #251323 for text (a computed darker shade of Fuchsia, 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.
