Using this palette
Four neutral grays plus a single, deliberately loud lime accent — this is closer to a code-editor dark theme than a mood palette, and it's built that way on purpose: the grays give a calm, low-fatigue working surface and the lime exists purely to mark the one thing that needs attention (a CTA, an active state, a syntax highlight). #B4FF39 against #1E1E1E clears very strong contrast and should be used sparingly — more than a small UI element's worth of pure lime becomes genuinely hard to look at. #1E1E1E and #2D2D2D both carry light gray or white text comfortably; suits dev-tool, terminal, or IDE-adjacent branding directly.
