About this palette
Flash Chartreuse Quartz is palette number 9,565 of Tintly's fifteen million generated palettes. It is a neon palette built on a tetradic scheme, and it is anchored by Chartreuse (#98DC21), the most saturated of its five colors.
The palette reads as playful, arcade-bright and fast. Its colors run from Fog (#FDDBE6) at the light end to Lavender (#CF71FA) at the dark end, covering 71% to 92% perceptual lightness, so it has real range rather than five similar tones.
The five colors
1. ≈ Lavender #CF71FA: suggested role text. It is a violet color with 71% lightness and a chroma of 0.209, which makes it clearly saturated.
2. ≈ Blush #FB9868: suggested role surface. It is a orange color with 77% lightness and a chroma of 0.135.
3. ≈ Chartreuse #98DC21: suggested role primary. It is a green color with 82% lightness and a chroma of 0.209, which makes it clearly saturated.

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 violet, orange, green, cyan and rose families, spread across 310 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: 2 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 1 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.137 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 Lavender (#CF71FA) with Fog (#FDDBE6) at a contrast ratio of 2.22:1, 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 (#FDDBE6), so this page suggests #211528 for text, a darkened Lavender that reaches 13.68:1. Check any pair you use in the contrast checker.
Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #8DDFFE and #FDDBE6 may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #FDDBE6 as the background, #FB9868 for cards and surfaces, #98DC21 as the primary brand color, #8DDFFE as the accent, and #211528 for text (a computed darker shade of Lavender, 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.
Typical uses for a neon palette include gaming and esports, nightlife flyers, technology launches and music visuals. Open it in the generator to lock the colors you love and reroll the rest, or in the visualizer to see it on real layouts.
