#BEEBCA

sRGB: 190 / 235 / 202

Ancient mountains fracture ancient heavens
Immortal legends shimmer across boundless heavens
Boundless spirits illuminate hidden worlds

#BEEBCA belongs to the green-cyan family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 190 red, 235 green and 202 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 136.0° lands in the green-cyan region. Its 52.9% saturation makes it partway between gray and the most vivid version of this hue at this lightness. HSL lightness is 83.3% 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 (15.93:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #BEEBCA 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: 15.93:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.32:1

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

#EBBEDF sits half a turn (180°) from #BEEBCA 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.

#BEEBCA #EBBEDF

Analogous

#C9EBBE and #BEEBE1 sit 30° to either side of #BEEBCA. 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.

#C9EBBE #BEEBCA #BEEBE1

Triadic

#BEEBCA, #CABEEB and #EBCABE are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#BEEBCA #CABEEB #EBCABE

Split complementary

Start at #BEEBCA and look across the wheel. #E1BEEB and #EBBEC9 sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#BEEBCA #E1BEEB #EBBEC9

Square

Starting with #BEEBCA, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #BEC9EB, #EBBEDF, then #EBE1BE. Across the square, #BEEBCA pairs with #EBBEDF, and #BEC9EB with #EBE1BE.

#BEEBCA #BEC9EB #EBBEDF #EBE1BE

Tetradic

#BEEBCA and #EBBEDF are opposites, as are #BEDFEB and #EBCABE. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #BEEBCA 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.

#EBE3C8

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.

#E3DECC

Tritanopia

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

#B8EAE1

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.

#DCE5C9

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.

#D9E3CB

Tritanomaly (50%)

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

#BFEAD3

Grayscale (luminance)

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