Black text has about a 9.8:1 contrast ratio on #baa8df, making it suitable for readable body copy, while white text offers much less contrast and should not be assumed accessible. Check the final text size and weight in your contrast tool.

#baa8df reads as cool because its light purple base carries violet undertones, while its low saturation and ashy finish soften the effect, keeping it gentle rather than icy or intense. It suits calm, airy layouts better than warm, energetic palettes.
