Wedding invites, baby packaging, and spa branding often call for lavender, and #ddceea fits that brief. This pale purple is heavily tinted and almost unsaturated, so it works best as a soft base rather than a punchy accent. It can wash out next to pure white, so anchor it with deep plum or charcoal. Black text reads clearly on it, passing WCAG AA for body copy.
