| “ | 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. | ” |

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:
- White
- Yellow (unless it is on a Bug)
- Red (unless it is on a truck)
- Blue (see above)
- Green (unless it is on a construction vehicle)
- Purple (see above. Or a dinosaur.)
- Orange (unless it is on a predatory animal)
- Black
Often a neon color will be a complementary accent color, even if that color is extremely unsaturated.
Prominent examples

You might think the red is what's neon here, but it's actually the dull green. -
The aforementioned "rainbow-colored Depth Charge." -
Okay, this one IS kinda hideous, though technically not because of any neon. -
Neon camouflage — where "neon" = "black"
-
This one is neon because it uses primary colors. -
The teal here is especially neon. As is the black. -
Many AllSpark Power figures were considered neon because they used blue. -
This one's actually neon!

Energon all the way baby! -

Non-examples
Any color schemes that adhere slavishly to a pre-existing Generation 1 character are exempt from all of the above. Toys such as the Terrorcons are therefore not considered neon. "Realistically" colored toys can also be counted as neon, such as Generation 2 Devastator.
