Opus Magnum is a desaturated violet that leans heavily into grey. Its extreme lightness makes it a perfect neutral background for UI designs, as it offers excellent contrast for black text, passing WCAG AA standards for small body copy. The hex code is #e3e1ed. Because of its faint chroma, avoid using it as an accent since it struggles to hold visual weight against darker elements.
