Neon Alley colour scheme for miniatures

Street crews under flickering signs: dark asphalt and coats lit by hot magenta and acid green.

Tip: Keep everything dark first, then add the neon colours as edge light on the side facing a pretend sign.

Below is each colour in the scheme with the closest paint in every major brand. Metal colours are matched to metallic paints, the rest to opaque paints. ΔE is how far the paint is from the target colour: under about 6 is close, over about 15 is loose. These are worked out from swatch estimates, so check the real paints before you start.
