#9B5AAD sits at 287° on the color wheel, placing it in the magenta family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 34% saturation and 52% lightness, it reads as a softly muted, balanced tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 155, 90, 173 produces a 4.71:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #9B5AAD is a clear variant of CSS slate blue — about 59 units away from #6A5ACD. 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.
