In this palette the hues fall in the green, teal, magenta and rose families, spread across 185 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 warm: 2 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 0 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.137 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 hot, loud and impossible to ignore.
Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Cyan (#9EFECB) with Mint (#33BD90) at a contrast ratio of 1.98:1, 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), #9EFECB and #3AF2B8 and #FAA1D8 and #F990CD may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #FAA1D8 and #F990CD may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under tritanopia (reduced blue sensitivity), #FAA1D8 and #F990CD may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #9EFECB as the background, #FAA1D8 for cards and surfaces, #3AF2B8 as the primary brand color, #F990CD as the accent, and #042016 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.
Give one side of the wheel to the background and structure and the other to calls to action. A small amount of the opposing hue goes a long way.
