#877eea is a saturated indigo with a cool violet undertone. Bright enough for calls to action and highlights, it can wash out beside plain white, so it works best as an accent rather than a full background. Warm amber flatters it, and mixing gray into the base tames the loudness. Black text passes AA on this hex code at about 6.2:1.
