#9E42A1 sits at 298° on the color wheel, placing it in the magenta family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 42% saturation and 45% lightness, it reads as a moderately saturated, balanced tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 158, 66, 161 produces a 5.60:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #9E42A1 is a distant relative of CSS blue-violet — about 72 units away from #8A2BE2. 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.
