Grapest
Also known as: Possessed Purple, Bane of Royalty, Xereus Purple, Cardinal Pink
Grapest sits on the warm side of the spectrum: a vivid pink that feels gentle and approachable. Try it in soft backgrounds and beauty and fashion. A green counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (9.38:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Grapest works
- Web & UI: Dark enough for body text and icons on white backgrounds — it passes WCAG AA as-is.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
- Branding: High-energy brand material: strong for food, fitness, and youth-facing marks — use sparingly in UI.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Branding: Premium territory: beauty, creative tools, and boutique brands lean on this range.
