Think of grape candy or a neon orchid and you get close. This magenta is loud and saturated, with enough darkness to keep it from washing out next to white. Its hex code is #aa36a1. Treat it as a bold accent in a 60/30/10 palette, since at full-page scale it can overwhelm, and white text on it passes AA for body copy.
