secondary

A bright cyan blue #00D0FF that provides sharp contrast and energy, suitable for secondary actions, navigation, or interactive states.

accent

A brilliant electric yellow #FEE300 that offers a dazzling glow, excellent for highlights, scores, or focal points, enhancing the neon effect.

background

Pure black #000000. A deep, dark background is crucial for these vibrant colors to truly pop and achieve the classic arcade look.

text

Use #FEE300 for headings and important messages, and white for body text, always against a dark background for optimal legibility.

Accessibility notes

Due to the extreme brightness of these neon colors, they are best used for large text or accents on a pure black background to ensure contrast.
Avoid using these vibrant colors for extensive body text; opt for white or a very light grey on dark backgrounds.
Contrast between #00FF00 and #FEE300 can be low; use them for distinct elements rather than text/background pairs.
Ensure interactive elements provide clear visual feedback, perhaps by changing to another bright color on hover.
