In this palette the hues fall in the green, blue, magenta and yellow families, spread across 221 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 playful, arcade-bright and fast.

How to use it
Suggested roles: #E0F627 as the background, #ACBEFC for cards and surfaces, #FB70F6 as the primary brand color, #B1EA38 as the accent, and #1C1C04 for text (a computed darker shade of Mustard, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
