#A89FFF Hex Color
Cool lavender with an airy finish
#a89fff is a light lavender with a cool blue undertone. It reads soft and airy, but it can wash out next to white, so treat it as a base tone or accent rather than a color for fine detail. It flatters deep plum and warm gold, and black text sits at about 9.1:1 contrast here, which clears WCAG AA for body text. The hex code suits wellness, spring, and beauty palettes.
