AssociationsNeon lights were popularly adopted by business districts in North America and Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. This later led to a moral panic whereby they became associated with vice such that they were banned by many cities with local ordinances. Neon lights later thrived in Asia and other places such as Iran. Neon red is a daring color that has a retro-futuristic or future-noir aesthetic.
