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 rose, orange, teal, blue and red families, spread across 316 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 warm: 3 of its 5 chromatic colors lean warm and 1 lean cool. Its average chroma of 0.118 makes the saturation balanced.
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 Salmon (#F871B4) with Apricot (#FED8CE) at a contrast ratio of 1.98:1, 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 (#FED8CE), so this page suggests #28121D for text, a darkened Salmon that reaches 13.33:1. Check any pair you use in the contrast checker.
Under protanopia (reduced red sensitivity), #0AE0B5 and #FED8CE may look alike, so avoid using that difference alone to carry meaning.
How to use it
Suggested roles: #FED8CE as the background, #C0D5FF for cards and surfaces, #0AE0B5 as the primary brand color, #E3A424 as the accent, and #28121D for text (a computed darker shade of Salmon, 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.
