#8B0159 sits at 322° on the color wheel, placing it in the rose family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 99% saturation and 27% lightness, it reads as a fully saturated, shadowed tone — a weighted, dramatic presence with deep undertones. Its RGB mix of 139, 1, 89 produces a 9.35:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #8B0159 is a clear variant of CSS purple — about 41 units away from #800080. Designers reach for rose hues at this saturation when the brief calls for bold, immediate signal, and at this lightness when they want weight, depth, and grounded contrast. On screen the balanced cast tends to pair best with either warm or cool accents depending on the surrounding palette.
