#9e91cc is a muted lavender purple with a grayed, soft character. Its low saturation keeps it calm instead of loud, and it works best as a supporting tone rather than the star. Black text sits comfortably on it at about 7.4:1 contrast, so it passes AA even for small body copy. Pair it with deep plum or charcoal to give it weight, since it can wash out against plain white.
