#E15DE3a warm-leaning vivid purple

At a glance#E15DE3, oklch(69.4% 0.225 327.1), is a warm-leaning vivid purple, close to Clematis Magenta #E05AEC or Free Speech Magenta #E35BD8. Pair it with a cool bright turquoise #73E0EE as an accent, a warm bold red #CB4955 for harmony, and a warm-leaning pale purple #9D8C9C as a neutral. Try it as a screen-first brand or accent color, and it takes black text at AA contrast. It shifts further on press than a run can hold, though, so Rhapsody would keep it off print-led brand work.
