Suggested color roles

primary

#FF00FF (Shocking Magenta) - Best for dominant elements, headlines, or large graphic areas to create immediate visual impact and a futuristic feel.

secondary

#00FFFF (Electric Cyan) - Excellent for complementary UI elements, subheadings, or background patterns, providing a cool contrast to the magenta.

accent

#FF0000 (Intense Red) - Ideal for critical alerts, call-to-action buttons, or small, high-visibility details where urgency or danger needs emphasis.

background

#808080 (Neutral Gray) - Provides a stable, dark, or light backdrop that allows the vibrant colors to pop without overwhelming the design.

text

#0000FF (Deep Blue) - Use for prominent titles or decorative text on a lighter background. For body text, consider a stark white or dark charcoal for readability.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast for text, especially with #FF00FF, #00FFFF, #FF0000, or #0000FF on #808080.
  • Avoid using #FF00FF and #FF0000 directly adjacent for critical information due to potential red-green color blindness issues.
  • Test all text and interactive element contrasts against their backgrounds using WCAG 2.1 guidelines.
  • The high vibrancy of these colors can cause eye strain; use them strategically and balance with the neutral gray.
