secondary

#FF00FF - A bold magenta, excellent for secondary calls-to-action, highlights, or graphic accents that need to compete with the primary.

accent

Accessibility notes

Almost all colors in this palette are extremely vibrant; ensure sufficient contrast when used for text, especially on other bright colors.
Pairing these bright colors with a deep black background (e.g., #000000) will significantly improve readability and visual impact.
Avoid using multiple bright colors for adjacent text elements as this can cause visual fatigue.
Prioritize contrast for interactive elements and essential information to meet accessibility standards.
