neon
Tenth element's glow
Neon is a colorless, odorless gas that glows bright reddish-orange when electricity passes through it.
This property made it essential for illuminated signs, which is why neon has come to evoke the garish glow of nightlife, casinos, and urban commercial strips.
By extension, neon describes any intensely bright, artificial-looking color: neon pink, neon green.
The bar's neon sign flickered in the rain.
