In this palette the hues fall in the orange, red and blue families, spread across 201 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 hot, loud and impossible to ignore.

How to use it
Suggested roles: #FFE0CE as the background, #DBA791 for cards and surfaces, #EEB8A1 as the primary brand color, #FECAB1 as the accent, and #081C2C for text (a computed darker shade of Cornflower, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Spend the neutrals on backgrounds, text and surfaces, and save the accent for the one thing you want people to notice: a button, a link or a highlight.
