In this palette the hues fall in the green family, spread across 15 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.

The strongest pairing is Mint (#2FBF63) with Lime (#ABFF9B) at a contrast ratio of 2.00:1, 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.

Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #35FE9D and #ABFF9B may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #35FE9D and #ABFF9B may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under tritanopia (reduced blue sensitivity), #2FBF63 and #33D166 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #ABFF9B as the background, #33D166 for cards and surfaces, #3CEC62 as the primary brand color, #35FE9D as the accent, and #0B2011 for text (a computed darker shade of Mint, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Use the lightest color for large areas, the mid tones for structure, and the darkest for text. Add contrast through lightness, since hue will not do it for you.
