#C40ED8 sits at 294° on the color wheel, placing it in the magenta family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 88% saturation and 45% lightness, it reads as a fully saturated, balanced tone — an immediate, signal-grade voice that demands attention. Its RGB mix of 196, 14, 216 produces a 4.77:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #C40ED8 is a distant relative of CSS blue-violet — about 66 units away from #8A2BE2. 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.
