In this palette the hues fall in the violet, orange and teal families, spread across 250 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.
Accessibility and contrast
The strongest pairing is Lilac (#BD89FC) with Apricot (#FDE3C4) at a contrast ratio of 2.08:1, 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.

All five colors stay distinguishable under protanopia, deuteranopia and tritanopia simulations, which is a good sign, although it is no substitute for testing with real users.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #FDE3C4 as the background, #E7BEFD for cards and surfaces, #FB9A29 as the primary brand color, #3AE2D0 as the accent, and #1E162A for text (a computed darker shade of Lilac, because no palette color is readable on that background). A reliable starting split is 60% background and surface, 30% primary and 10% accent.
Choose one hue to dominate, one to support and one for small accents, so the palette stays lively without becoming chaotic.
