Harmony and structure
Three hues are spaced about a third of the wheel apart. Triadic palettes feel balanced and playful, because no single hue family dominates.
In this palette the hues fall in the red, green and blue families, spread across 241 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: 2 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 1 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.124 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: #9BFFC2 as the background, #FDC9B6 for cards and surfaces, #2ED370 as the primary brand color, #ADC3FA as the accent, and #2B1310 for text (a computed darker shade of Salmon, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Choose one hue to dominate, one to support and one for small accents, so the palette stays lively without becoming chaotic.
