A triadic palette is often preferred by professional designers because it balances visual interest with cohesion.

Colors That Pair Well With Vice Neon
Need a fifth color? These three companions are computed from the palette's own hue positions on the color wheel, so they extend the scheme without breaking its harmony.
directly opposite #00E0FF on the wheel — the strongest accent for CTAs and highlights when you need maximum energy
30° beside #00E0FF — a calm secondary that extends the palette without adding tension
a ink-black carrying the palette's own hue — perfect for surfaces and dividers
Using Vice Neon Without Breaking Accessibility
- Avoid #00E0FF for small UI elements on #FF2E9A — at 2.1:1 it misses the 3:1 WCAG threshold; darken it with a shade from the ramp below.
- Set body text in #1A0E2E — 5.3:1 against #FF2E9A passes WCAG AA (AA) for long-form reading.
- Don't use #FF6B4A behind body text — this light tone works better for surfaces, badges and dividers than for reading areas.
