Not a dusty mauve, this bright orchid purple is loud, saturated, and full of punch. #e77ded leans pink, so it reads warmer than most violets, but it washes out next to white and works better as an accent than a full background. Black text sits comfortably on top at about 8.6:1 contrast, which clears WCAG AA for body text. Pair it with deep teal for contrast that flatters both.
