How should you use #862ec9 in a design palette?
Use #862ec9 as an accent rather than a dominant base. It covers highlights, buttons, and small branding moments well, but at full-screen scale its saturation gets tiring. Deep charcoals and warm golds flatter it more than pale neutrals do.
Is #862ec9 readable on white or black?
#862ec9 has a 6.46:1 contrast ratio on white and 3.24:1 on black. WCAG asks for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, so on white it works for body text and on black it works only for large text (24px, or 18.5px bold). Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
