Online color picker to view shades, tints, color codes, and complementary colors
Far from a timid lavender, #7155d3 is a bold, saturated violet with a cool undertone. The hex code is dark enough to carry white text at 5.3:1, so it passes AA behind small body copy. It works best as an accent or call-to-action, since a full background in it can overpower a layout. Pair it with muted teal instead of the expected gold.
