#BEDBB7

sRGB: 190 / 219 / 183

Ancient mountains fracture ancient heavens
Electric visions shimmer across boundless heavens

#BEDBB7 belongs to the green family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 190 red, 219 green and 183 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 108.3° lands in the green region. Its 33.3% saturation makes it partway between gray and the most vivid version of this hue at this lightness. HSL lightness is 78.8% on a scale from black (0%) to white (100%). Of black and white lettering, black has the clearer light-to-dark separation on this background (14.01:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #BEDBB7 in light and dark. The ratio compares relative luminance, a measure of light weighted for human vision. Identical colors give 1:1 and black against white gives 21:1. A ratio of 2.99:1 falls just below the 3:1 AA minimum for large text. Body text needs at least 4.5:1 because its finer strokes are harder to distinguish.

Black text: 14.01:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.50:1

Normal text: Fail
Large text: Fail

AA and AAA are WCAG accessibility levels. AAA sets a higher bar: 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text. Large text begins at 18 pt regular or 14 pt bold. Ratings use the unrounded ratio.

Palettes & scales

Harmonies rotate the hue. Scales mix the starting color with white, black or middle gray in 20% steps in encoded sRGB.

Complementary

#D4B7DB sits half a turn (180°) from #BEDBB7 on the HSL wheel. Keeping saturation and lightness steady while crossing to the opposite hue gives you a contrasting accent. Check text contrast separately before using the pair for lettering.

#BEDBB7 #D4B7DB

Analogous

#D0DBB7 and #B7DBC2 sit 30° to either side of #BEDBB7. The three hues are neighbors on the wheel, so you can change the color of a border or highlight while keeping it close to the original.

#D0DBB7 #BEDBB7 #B7DBC2

Triadic

#BEDBB7, #B7BEDB and #DBB7BE are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

Split complementary

Start at #BEDBB7 and look across the wheel. #C2B7DB and #DBB7D0 sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#BEDBB7 #C2B7DB #DBB7D0

Square

Starting with #BEDBB7, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #B7D0DB, #D4B7DB, then #DBC2B7. Across the square, #BEDBB7 pairs with #D4B7DB, and #B7D0DB with #DBC2B7.

#BEDBB7 #B7D0DB #D4B7DB #DBC2B7

Tetradic

Color vision previews

Compare how #BEDBB7 appears in each simulation. When two chart lines or status indicators become hard to tell apart, a label, shape or line pattern gives readers another way to distinguish them. Individual perception varies.

Protanopia

A red–green color vision deficiency. Without a distinct response from long-wavelength cones, some reds and greens can look alike, and reds can appear darker.

#DED5B5

Deuteranopia

A red–green color vision deficiency. Without a distinct response from medium-wavelength cones, some greens can be difficult to distinguish from reds or browns.

#D9D2B9

Tritanopia

A blue–yellow color vision deficiency. Without a distinct response from short-wavelength cones, blue can resemble green, and yellow can resemble pink.

#BDD8D1

Protanomaly (50%)

An altered long-wavelength cone response can make reds appear dimmer and harder to distinguish from greens. This swatch shows the model’s halfway setting.

#D3D7B6

Deuteranomaly (50%)

An altered medium-wavelength cone response can reduce the visible difference between reds and greens. This swatch shows the model’s halfway setting.

#D1D5B8

Tritanomaly (50%)

An altered short-wavelength cone response can make blue harder to distinguish from green. This swatch shows the model’s halfway setting.

#BFDAC1

Grayscale (luminance)

This design check removes hue and preserves relative luminance so you can compare light and dark areas.
