Bright, saturated violet with a neon edge, #cd72ff jumps off the screen even in small doses. Treat it as an accent in a 60/30/10 palette; at full-bleed scale it can overwhelm. It flatters deep charcoal and works well in gaming, dark mode UIs, and candy packaging. Black text stays readable on top at about 7.4:1 contrast, so it passes WCAG AA behind body copy.
