Neon

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)

The blue here is especially neon. As is the black.

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 imagineable can be marginalized as a hated "neon" color. Colors that have been categorized as neon include the following:

• White
• Yellow
• Red (unless it is on a truck)
• Blue
• Green (unless it is on a construction vehicle)
• Purple (see previous)
• Orange
• Black

You might think the red is what's neon here, but it's actually the dull green.

Often a neon color will be a complementary accent color, even if that color is extremely unsaturated. Any color schemes that adhere slavishly to a pre-existing Generation 1 character are exempt from all of the above.
