Does #ce7ed1 read warm or cool?
It leans cool, since blue undertones drive the hue, but the pink edge keeps it from feeling icy. Next to warm neutrals like tan or sand, that coolness becomes more obvious, so plan pairings around the contrast.
Is #ce7ed1 readable on white or black?
#ce7ed1 has a 2.78:1 contrast ratio on white and 7.52:1 on black. WCAG asks for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, so on white it is too faint for text and on black it works for body text. Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
