#A40CAC sits at 297° on the color wheel, placing it in the magenta family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 87% saturation and 36% lightness, it reads as a fully saturated, shadowed tone — an immediate, signal-grade voice that demands attention. Its RGB mix of 164, 12, 172 produces a 6.51:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #A40CAC is a clear variant of CSS purple — about 58 units away from #800080. Designers reach for magenta hues at this saturation when the brief calls for bold, immediate signal, 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.
