Accessibility notes

  • This palette is high-vibrancy. Text typically requires a dark background (black/charcoal) with white or light grey text for readability.
  • Avoid using the neon colors for large blocks of body text; reserve them for headings, accents, or interactive elements.
  • Ensure sufficient contrast for all text and interactive elements, as bright colors on bright colors can be unreadable.
  • Consider alternative states for interactive elements (e.g., a darker glow on hover) to enhance usability and accessibility.
