Hex color #f40cb2 graphic
Think neon fuchsia with extra punch. #f40cb2 is a hot, saturated pink-magenta that practically glows on screen. Its intensity suits small doses: call-to-action buttons, highlights, packaging accents. As a full background it overwhelms quickly. Black text reads clearly on it, around 5.5:1 contrast, so small body copy still passes WCAG AA. The hex code #f40cb2 also sits close to other shades of purple like magenta and orchid.
