Accessibility notes

Ensure #D46FC0 text on #1A0A1A or #3D1B3D backgrounds meets WCAG AA contrast standards for readability.
Avoid using #6F2C6F or #A34A8A for small text against the darkest backgrounds, as contrast might be insufficient.
For critical information and interactive states, always use the lightest shade, #D46FC0, to maximize visibility.
Consider using a pure white or very light grey for extensive body text if #D46FC0 is too vibrant for prolonged reading, maintaining a high contrast.
