Reach for #b14fea when a call-to-action button or gaming accent needs to be heard. This saturated purple sits at a mid lightness with electric pink undertones, so it reads loud and cool instead of regal and muted. Black text passes WCAG AA on it at about 5.2:1 contrast, but white text falls short. Treat it as a 10% accent; as a full background it fatigues the eye fast, and next to plain white it loses some of its punch.
