In this palette the hues fall in the yellow, cyan and magenta families, spread across 236 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 temperature-balanced: 1 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 2 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.135 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.

How to use it
Suggested roles: #FFE081 as the background, #6EE8FC for cards and surfaces, #FD99FB as the primary brand color, #C2B62D as the accent, and #001F27 for text (a computed darker shade of Turquoise, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
