Far from a soft lavender, #9b35e8 is a loud, saturated purple with an electric edge. That intensity suits small accents and calls to action more than full backgrounds, where it can overwhelm. It pairs well with charcoal or deep teal. White text passes AA contrast on top, so fine type stays readable. Compare it with other shades of purple to see how far it sits from pastel.
