Suggested color roles

primary

Use #FF0000 (Red) for strong focal points, energetic calls to action, or to convey passion and urgency.

secondary

Apply #FF00FF (Magenta) for vibrant supporting elements, decorative lines, or subheadings that need to pop.

accent

Leverage #FFFF00 (Yellow), #00FFFF (Cyan), or #00FF00 (Lime Green) for dynamic highlights, interactive elements, and playful details.

background

For a truly bold statement, use #FF0000 or #00FF00 as a background. Alternatively, a neutral dark grey (not in palette) will make all colors intensely vibrant.

text

Black or white text provides the best readability and contrast against these highly saturated hues. Use white on darker backgrounds and black on brighter ones.

Accessibility notes

Exercise extreme caution with combinations like #FF00FF on #00FF00 or #FFFF00 on #FF0000 for text, as contrast can be very low.
Always prioritize black or white text for maximum legibility on any of these bright, saturated colors.
Ensure sufficient contrast for all text elements, especially against similar value hues to prevent visual strain.
Large text and headings can tolerate more adventurous color pairings than smaller body text; always test.
