#CCA3F0 Hex Color
Pastel Lavender With a Cool Glow
Pastel lavender with a cool, faintly pink undertone. #cca3f0 reads soft and airy, so it works best as a large background or supporting tone in the 60/30/10 rule rather than a small accent. It holds black text comfortably at about 10.1:1 contrast, though it can wash out next to pure white. Pair it with deep plum or charcoal for balance.
