Not a soft lavender or a deep plum, #c24bdd sits closer to electric orchid: saturated, loud, and hard to ignore. That intensity suits an accent role, so treat it as your 10 percent, not a full background. Pair it with deep teal or charcoal for balance, and rely on black text here, since it hits about 5.3:1 contrast and passes WCAG AA for body copy.
