neon yellow
Glaring fluorescent shade
Neon yellow is a vivid, fluorescent shade of yellow with an intense, almost glowing quality—the color of highlighter markers and safety vests.
Like other neon colors, it appears to emit light rather than simply reflect it: She wore neon yellow running shoes so drivers could see her.
The term references neon signs, though actual neon gas glows orange-red, not yellow.
