#8E2C6C sits at 321° on the color wheel, placing it in the rose family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 53% saturation and 36% lightness, it reads as a moderately saturated, shadowed tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 142, 44, 108 produces a 7.70:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #8E2C6C is a clear variant of CSS purple — about 50 units away from #800080. Designers reach for rose hues at this saturation when the brief calls for a conversational, mid-energy register, 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.
