#AE8EE3 sits at 263° on the color wheel, placing it in the violet family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 60% saturation and 72% lightness, it reads as a moderately saturated, light tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 174, 142, 227 produces a 7.78:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #AE8EE3 is a clear variant of CSS orchid — about 55 units away from #DA70D6. Designers reach for violet hues at this saturation when the brief calls for a conversational, mid-energy register, and at this lightness when they want lift, air, and gentle emphasis. On screen the cool cast tends to pair best with warm neutrals in the 25°-45° range to add life.
