Hex color #cd6dbe graphic
Like orchid petals dipped in neon, #cd6dbe is a bright, saturated magenta with a soft pink glow. Use it as a small accent for buttons, highlights, and calls to action rather than a full background. Black text reads clearly on top at about 6.5:1 contrast, which clears WCAG AA for body copy. It also flatters deeper shades of pink in monochromatic palettes.
