#8E7BAF sits at 262° on the color wheel, placing it in the violet family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 25% saturation and 58% lightness, it reads as a softly muted, light tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 142, 123, 175 produces a 5.60:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #8E7BAF is a clear variant of CSS gray — about 49 units away from #808080. Designers reach for violet hues at this saturation when the brief calls for restraint and atmosphere, and at this lightness when they want a present, comfortable mid-canvas voice. On screen the cool cast tends to pair best with warm neutrals in the 25°-45° range to add life.
