#B28AFB sits at 261° on the color wheel, placing it in the violet family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 93% saturation and 76% lightness, it reads as a fully saturated, very light tone — a soft but unmistakably tinted presence. Its RGB mix of 178, 138, 251 produces a 7.92:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #B28AFB is a distant relative of CSS orchid — about 60 units away from #DA70D6. Designers reach for violet hues at this saturation when the brief calls for bold, immediate signal, 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.
