Online color picker to view shades, tints, color codes, and complementary colors
Not lavender and not a deep royal purple, #9a64bc sits in between: a medium violet with a cool, slightly muted character. That mid lightness makes it better as a supporting tone or accent than a full background, since it can look washed out next to white. Black text reads clearly on it at about 4.9:1 contrast, which makes the hex code workable for buttons, badges, and small UI elements.

What colors pair well with #9a64bc?
