Neon is a luminous, nonflammable, nontoxic gas with the chemical symbol Ne and atomic number 10. It is the second lightest noble gas and glows reddish-orange in vacuum discharge tubes. Neon is a colorless, odorless, inert monatomic gas under normal conditions with about two-thirds the density of air.
Aside from its glowing properties, neon is also an important ingredient in glass and has been used to make the first neon signs (designed by Georges Claude in 1910). These illuminated signs are still very popular and are often found in stores and other commercial buildings. Neon is extracted from liquid air by fractional distillation and mixed with a small amount of helium to produce the iconic glow-in-the-dark color of neon. The most common application of neon today is the neon sign, a type of billboard, which is manufactured by filling sealed glass tubes with neon and connecting them to electrodes on both ends. When an electrical current is applied to the electrodes, the process of ionization causes the gas to release energy that makes the neon glow.
Neon is a vibrant color that can be used to draw attention to certain parts of a design, whether it’s a bright button on an app or a colorful logo that stands out in print. But it can also be combined with more muted colors to create a look that’s both vibrant and chic. Try pairing neon with neutrals like biscuit, camel or gray to give your designs an extra boost of color.
