Where Mauve It 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: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
