Indigo at full blast. #5a0bed is a highly saturated electric violet that leans cool and glows hardest against dark surfaces, which makes it a strong accent or call to action in a 60/30/10 palette rather than a dominant base. Warm golds and soft peaches tame its intensity. White text clears WCAG AA on top of it with room to spare, so it holds up behind small type.
