Gaming UIs, candy packaging, and neon signage reach for bright orchid when a purple needs extra energy. #e28fef is a light, saturated violet with a cool, glowing cast. Its lightness gives black text strong contrast, about 9.4:1, so it passes WCAG AA behind small type. Use it as an accent or small background block; next to plain white it can wash out.
