#B88ADD sits at 273° on the color wheel, placing it in the violet family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 55% saturation and 70% 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 184, 138, 221 produces a 7.72:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #B88ADD is a clear variant of CSS orchid — about 43 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 a present, comfortable mid-canvas voice. On screen the cool cast tends to pair best with warm neutrals in the 25°-45° range to add life.
