A rich magenta close to raspberry jam, #ad2882 is loud but not neon. Its deep saturation gives it a plush, after-dark feel, so it works best as an accent or call to action rather than a full background. White text holds up on top at about 6.2:1 contrast, enough for small body copy. Pair it with deep teal for a bold, grown-up palette.
