In this palette the hues fall in the green, violet, magenta and yellow families, spread across 227 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: 0 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 1 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.159 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.
Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Sage (#85BC23) with Lemon (#EBF41E) at a contrast ratio of 1.89:1, 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.
No other palette color reaches 4.5:1 on the background (#EBF41E), so this page suggests #151E09 for text, a darkened Sage that reaches 14.31:1. Check any pair you use in the contrast checker.
Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #B9C2FA and #FCBCE6 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #85BC23 and #48D923 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #EBF41E as the background, #B9C2FA for cards and surfaces, #48D923 as the primary brand color, #FCBCE6 as the accent, and #151E09 for text (a computed darker shade of Sage, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
