Think of a neon sign buzzing pink and purple and you get electric fuchsia. The hex code #e738ea is highly saturated and reads cool, so it earns its place as a 10 percent accent: call-to-action buttons, festival posters, cosmetics packaging. Keep it off large backgrounds, where it overwhelms. Black text passes AA on it at 6.2:1, and what colors make pink helps when you need a softer version.
