#aff525 is a neon lime that feels energetic and synthetic. Because it is so high-chroma, this hex code works best as a punchy, 10% accent rather than a full background. It pairs exceptionally well with charcoal or deep, near-black grays to ground its intensity. Since black text reads clearly against this shade, it functions well for high-contrast UI elements in gaming or sports branding.
