About this palette
Neon Green Yarrow is palette number 8,333 of Tintly's fifteen million generated palettes. It is a neon palette built on a tetradic scheme, and it is anchored by Green (#32F884), the most saturated of its five colors.
The palette reads as playful, arcade-bright and fast. Its colors run from Fog (#E3E1FE) at the light end to Cornflower (#3BA8F9) at the dark end, covering 71% to 92% perceptual lightness, so it has real range rather than five similar tones.

Harmony and structure
Four hues are spaced around the wheel in two complementary pairs. It is the richest scheme, and the hardest to balance.
In this palette the hues fall in the blue, magenta, orange, green and violet families, spread across 269 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: 1 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 2 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.146 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 Cornflower (#3BA8F9) with Fog (#E3E1FE) at a contrast ratio of 2.01:1, 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 (#E3E1FE), so this page suggests #091C2C for text, a darkened Cornflower that reaches 13.56:1. Check any pair you use in the contrast checker.
Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #3BA8F9 and #FF7FE2 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning. Under deuteranopia (reduced green sensitivity), #FAB262 and #32F884 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #E3E1FE as the background, #FAB262 for cards and surfaces, #32F884 as the primary brand color, #FF7FE2 as the accent, and #091C2C 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.
Let one hue take most of the space and use the others sparingly. Control the mood with lightness and saturation rather than hue.
