#EE45C1 Hex Color
Loud magenta with a soft streak
Halfway between hot pink and orchid, #ee45c1 is a saturated, beaming magenta built to grab attention. It works best as a 10 percent accent: buttons, highlights, cosmetics packaging, nightlife graphics. Full backgrounds tire the eye, and it washes out next to plain white. Pair it with deep teal or forest green for contrast. Black text reads clearly on it at about 6.3:1, so small copy stays accessible.
