A dusty, grayed lavender with just enough violet to read purple rather than pink. #c1aac3 sits light on the value scale, so it works best as a soft base or supporting tone, flattered by deep plum and warm charcoal. Its low saturation keeps designs gentle, which suits wellness branding, weddings, and spring packaging. Black text passes comfortably against this hex code for body copy.
