Close to the bright purple of grape candy, electric purple #c148e4 is a saturated, cool-leaning shade that grabs attention fast. That intensity has limits: as a full background it tires the eyes, so it works best as a 10 percent accent for buttons, highlights, or bold type. It looks richer against deep charcoal than against white, which washes it out. Black text on it hits about 5.3:1, enough for WCAG AA body copy.
