#BEFFD7

sRGB: 190 / 255 / 215

Ancient mountains fracture ancient heavens
Unbridled forces transform the fabric of existence
Fierce revelations embrace the coming dawn

#BEFFD7 belongs to the green-cyan family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 190 red, 255 green and 215 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 143.1° lands in the green-cyan region. Its 100.0% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 87.3% 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 (18.47:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #BEFFD7 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: 18.47:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.14:1

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

#FFBEE6 sits half a turn (180°) from #BEFFD7 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.

#BEFFD7 #FFBEE6

Analogous

#C5FFBE and #BEFFF8 sit 30° to either side of #BEFFD7. 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.

#C5FFBE #BEFFD7 #BEFFF8

Triadic

#BEFFD7, #D7BEFF and #FFD7BE are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#BEFFD7 #D7BEFF #FFD7BE

Split complementary

Start at #BEFFD7 and look across the wheel. #F8BEFF and #FFBEC5 sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#BEFFD7 #F8BEFF #FFBEC5

Square

Starting with #BEFFD7, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #BEC5FF, #FFBEE6, then #FFF8BE. Across the square, #BEFFD7 pairs with #FFBEE6, and #BEC5FF with #FFF8BE.

#BEFFD7 #BEC5FF #FFBEE6 #FFF8BE

Tetradic

#BEFFD7 and #FFBEE6 are opposites, as are #BEE6FF and #FFD7BE. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #BEFFD7 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.

#FEF5D5

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.

#F3EDD9

Tritanopia

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

#B3FEF3

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.

#EAF8D6

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.

#E5F3D8

Tritanomaly (50%)

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