Vibrating colors

Also called chromostereopsis

Two highly saturated, contrasting hues placed next to each other that appear to flicker or jump at their boundary.

Say it to an AI

Bold blue promo card for the early-bird festival passes. Keep the saturation on the background only: white headline and price, pale blue body copy and a white button, with a soft yellow tag for energy. No saturated text on the blue, since vibrating colors kill luminance contrast.
