neon purple

Vivid synthetic lavender

Neon purple is a vivid, highly saturated shade of purple with an intense, almost glowing quality—the kind associated with fluorescent lights, rave culture, and 1980s aesthetics.

Like other neon colors, it suggests brightness pushed to an eye-catching extreme: neon purple leggings, a neon purple glow.

The term combines the fluorescent quality of neon with purple's blend of red and blue.
