#792BAD Hex Color
Bold violet with a moody edge
Not a soft lavender, #792bad is a saturated violet with serious punch. This purple reads bold and cool, so it works best as an accent or small color block rather than a full background, where it can turn heavy. White text sits comfortably on top at about 7.6:1 contrast, clearing WCAG AA for body copy. Pair it with mustard for an unexpected palette that pops.
