{{bigquote|Why can't we get some more realistic colors fitting a real life vechicle/Animals for a TF? Example: A purple wolf Silverbot for the TF line. A rainbow colored Depth charge for TFU. The badly colored Armada Tidalwave. No ones saying paint everything black+grey. just stop using those neon colors & so forth.|Deathy|alt.toys.transformers (2004)<ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/msg/e1afb34ee4f68eb9?dmode=source Important questions to ask Orson/Hasbro]</ref>}}<br />

Unlike the real world, where the word means "fluorescent", '''neon''' is a term used by many in the Transformers online fandom to describe any color on a Transformers product that an individual merely finds ugly. This broad usage means practically any color imaginable can be marginalized as a hated "neon" color. Colors that have been categorized as neon include the following:<br />
<br />
*White<br />
*Yellow (unless it is on a [[Bumblebee (G1)|bug]])<br />
*Red (unless it is on a [[Optimus Prime (G1)|truck]])<br />
*Blue<br />
*Green (unless it is on a [[Constructicon (G1)|construction vehicle]])<br />
*Purple (see above. [[Trypticon (G1)|Or]] a [[Megatron (BW)|dinosaur.]])<br />
*Orange<br />
*Black<br />
<br />
Often a neon color will be a complementary accent color, even if that color is extremely unsaturated. Any color schemes that [[GEEWUN|adhere slavishly]] to a pre-existing [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] character are exempt from all of the above.<br />
