Suggested color roles

primary

Use #00FFFF (Cyan) as a bright, cool, and dominant primary color for key sections or major UI elements, conveying a modern digital feel.

secondary

Employ #FF00FF (Magenta) for energetic complements, secondary interactive elements, or striking graphic accents that pulsate with life.

accent

Apply #FFFF00 (Yellow) for the highest visibility, crucial call-to-action buttons, or to signify vital, attention-grabbing information.

background

Black or a very dark neutral (e.g., charcoal) is highly recommended as a background to maximize the glow effect and ensure optimal contrast.

text

For headlines, #FFFF00 or #00FF00 offer excellent visibility. For body text, white or a light gray provides optimal readability on a dark background.

Accessibility notes

  • All colors are highly saturated; they need a dark background (black or very dark gray) for optimal contrast and WCAG AA compliance.
  • Avoid using these pure neon colors for large blocks of body text, as their intensity can cause eye strain.
  • Be cautious with #FF0000 (Red) and #FF00FF (Magenta) for users with red-green color blindness when used for critical information.
  • For body text, use white or near-white on a dark background to ensure maximum readability and comfort.
