What colors pair best with #bf94e5 for professional design?

Is #bf94e5 suitable for UI design and body text?
#bf94e5 functions well as a soothing, gentle background color, but it should not be used for small body text due to low contrast ratios. Use it for large headings, soft interface elements, or decorative accents instead.
Is #bf94e5 readable on white or black?
#bf94e5 has a 2.44:1 contrast ratio on white and 8.58:1 on black. WCAG asks for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, so on white it is too faint for text and on black it works for body text. Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
