Reach for #dd7acd when a design needs a loud accent: call-to-action buttons, cosmetic packaging, or nightlife posters. This saturated magenta reads warm and sweet, pink enough to feel playful instead of corporate. It works best in a small 10% role; large areas of it tire the eye fast. Pair it with deep teal for punch, and stick to black text on top, since it clears WCAG AA at about 7.7:1 contrast.
