Sensible jobs for this swatch

subtle surfaces, chips, and table stripes
text or icons on charcoal / dark mode

Do not use #ada8ff as small body text on white — 2.14:1 misses WCAG AA (4.5:1). Pair it with a darker shade from the scale below, or check pairs in the contrast checker.

Family context: Intuition, depth, and sincerity. Common in enterprise software and thoughtful products. Common uses still include buttons, charts, and accents in the Indigo range — always verify the pair for this exact hex in the contrast checker.
