In this palette the hues fall in the magenta family, spread across 17 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.
Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Pink (#FED9F3) with Magenta (#EA5DFB) at a contrast ratio of 2.20:1, 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 deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #FD9CED and #FA85D6 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #FED9F3 as the background, #FCBCE9 for cards and surfaces, #FA85D6 as the primary brand color, #FD9CED as the accent, and #231425 for text (a computed darker shade of Magenta, 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.
