#C588CC Hex Color
Soft Lavender With a Cool Edge
Not a sugary pink and not a deep violet, #c588cc lands in between as a muted lavender with cool undertones. Its moderate saturation keeps things soft rather than loud, which suits wellness branding, wedding stationery, and spring packaging. Black text clears WCAG AA on it at about 7.8:1 contrast. Pair it with deep plum or muted olive so it reads as a supporting tone instead of washing out.
