In this palette the hues fall in the rose and teal families, spread across 188 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.

Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #3FE1AB and #2DD1A1 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #3FE1AB and #2DD1A1 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under tritanopia (reduced blue sensitivity), #3FE1AB and #2DD1A1 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #FDDCED as the background, #2DD1A1 for cards and surfaces, #3FE1AB as the primary brand color, #FCC1D8 as the accent, and #28121E for text (a computed darker shade of Rose, 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.
