Mulberry

Mulberry (#C54B8C) is a true magenta with a jewel character. It carries the deep, saturated richness of a gemstone. Authoritative and slightly formal, it works well for type and heavy UI elements. Its HSL profile (328°, 51%, 53%) places it in the balanced band at a mid lightness. It works across type, buttons, and borders, saturated enough to feel deliberate but balanced enough to not fight the rest of the palette. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary teal. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel. The near-black purple of ripe Morus nigra, dark enough to stain stone. The leaves feed silkworms — so the color marks the start of the Silk Road's long supply chain.
