#8E3991 sits at 298° on the color wheel, placing it in the magenta family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 44% saturation and 40% 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, 57, 145 produces a 6.68:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #8E3991 is a distant relative of CSS purple — about 61 units away from #800080. Designers reach for magenta 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.
