#8C179B sits at 293° on the color wheel, placing it in the magenta family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 74% saturation and 35% lightness, it reads as a richly saturated, shadowed tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 140, 23, 155 produces a 7.75:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #8C179B is a clear variant of CSS purple — about 37 units away from #800080. Designers reach for magenta hues at this saturation when the brief calls for bold, immediate signal, and at this lightness when they want a present, comfortable mid-canvas voice. On screen the balanced cast tends to pair best with either warm or cool accents depending on the surrounding palette.
