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

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
 * Blue
 * Green (unless it is on a construction vehicle)
 * Purple (see previous)
 * Orange
 * Black

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.
