#C5A1E9 sits at 270° on the color wheel, placing it in the violet family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 62% saturation and 77% lightness, it reads as a moderately saturated, very light tone — a soft but unmistakably tinted presence. Its RGB mix of 197, 161, 233 produces a 9.65:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #C5A1E9 is a clear variant of CSS violet — about 52 units away from #EE82EE. 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.
