#C491D1 sits at 288° on the color wheel, placing it in the magenta family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 41% saturation and 69% 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 196, 145, 209 produces a 8.32:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #C491D1 is a clear variant of CSS orchid — about 40 units away from #DA70D6. Designers reach for magenta 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 balanced cast tends to pair best with either warm or cool accents depending on the surrounding palette.
