Hex color #aea1fb graphic
Close to wisteria in bloom or a scoop of grape candy, lavender #aea1fb is a pale, cool purple with a clear blue undertone. Its lightness gives it a soft, springlike feel, and black text holds about 9.3:1 contrast on it, above the 4.5:1 needed for WCAG AA body copy. That makes it a dependable background for UI and packaging, though it reads washed out beside plain white. Pair it with deep plum or forest green to keep designs grounded. The hex code for lavender is #aea1fb.
