Colors That Pair Well With Magenta Flash
Need a fifth color? These three companions are computed from the palette's own hue positions on the color wheel, so they extend the scheme without breaking its harmony.
directly opposite #B026FF on the wheel — the strongest accent for CTAs and highlights when you need maximum energy
30° beside #B026FF — a calm secondary that extends the palette without adding tension
a ink-black carrying the palette's own hue — perfect for surfaces and dividers
Using Magenta Flash Without Breaking Accessibility
- Avoid #B026FF for small UI elements on #FF00A0 — at 1.3:1 it misses the 3:1 WCAG threshold; darken it with a shade from the ramp below.
- Set body text in #100414 — 5.5:1 against #FF00A0 passes WCAG AA (AA) for long-form reading.
- Don't use #FF2E6E behind body text — this light tone works better for surfaces, badges and dividers than for reading areas.
