#c978ef is a saturated purple with a clear pink lean, bright enough to read almost neon. Its vividness makes it best as a small accent for calls to action, highlights, or gaming brands rather than a full background. It pairs well with deep navy instead of white. Black text is the safe choice on it, with about 7.4:1 contrast, enough for small body text. That pink edge puts it near other shades of pink.
