#aca7b1 is a dusty purple with heavy gray undertones, so muted it reads closer to a soft lilac gray than true violet. Its low saturation makes it a supporting player: a calm UI background, a muted accent beside deeper plums, or a wall color that stays out of the way. Black text holds up on it at about 8.9:1, so it can sit behind body copy and still pass AA.
