#7B0AD1 Hex Color
Online color picker to view shades, tints, color codes, and complementary colors
Far from a soft lavender, the hex code #7b0ad1 is a loud, saturated purple with a cool, dark edge. That depth keeps it from washing out next to white, though it works better as an accent or call to action than a full background. White text on top hits about 7.5:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA. Pair it with warm ochre for a richer match than pastels.
