Suggested color roles

primary

This intense magenta (#FF00FF) is excellent for primary calls to action, prominent headlines, or main graphic elements, radiating electric energy.

secondary

A brilliant cyan (#00FFFF) that provides a striking cool contrast, ideal for subheadings, navigation links, or secondary graphical elements.

Deploy this luminous yellow (#FFEA00) for highlights, alerts, or small interactive elements to add a vibrant pop and draw immediate attention.

background

This solid black (#000000) serves as the perfect dramatic backdrop, allowing the neon colors to truly glow and create a captivating depth.

text

White or a very light gray is essential for text against the black background or any of the vibrant colors for optimal readability.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast for text on brighter colors like #FFEA00 (yellow); white text will be necessary on most colors, while black is only suitable on very light backgrounds (not present here).
  • Avoid using red-magenta (#FF00FF) and cyan (#00FFFF) for critical information that relies solely on color distinction, especially for colorblind users.
  • The extreme saturation and luminosity of the palette mean judicious use of negative space is important to prevent visual fatigue and maintain clarity.
  • Provide clear visual cues for interactive states, as the vibrant colors might make subtle changes less obvious.
