#CBFED1

sRGB: 203 / 254 / 209

Celestial flames rise against oblivion
Unbridled forces transcend the boundaries of time
Fierce revelations surrender to silence

#CBFED1 belongs to the green family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 203 red, 254 green and 209 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 127.1° lands in the green region. Its 96.2% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 89.6% 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 (18.64:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #CBFED1 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: 18.64:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.13:1

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

#FECBF8 sits half a turn (180°) from #CBFED1 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.

#CBFED1 #FECBF8

Analogous

#DFFECB and #CBFEEA sit 30° to either side of #CBFED1. 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.

#DFFECB #CBFED1 #CBFEEA

Triadic

#CBFED1, #D1CBFE and #FED1CB are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#CBFED1 #D1CBFE #FED1CB

Split complementary

Start at #CBFED1 and look across the wheel. #EACBFE and #FECBDF sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#CBFED1 #EACBFE #FECBDF

Square

Starting with #CBFED1, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #CBDFFE, #FECBF8, then #FEEACB. Across the square, #CBFED1 pairs with #FECBF8, and #CBDFFE with #FEEACB.

#CBFED1 #CBDFFE #FECBF8 #FEEACB

Tetradic

#CBFED1 and #FECBF8 are opposites, as are #CBF8FE and #FED1CB. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #CBFED1 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.

#FFF5CF

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.

#F7EFD3

Tritanopia

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

#C5FCF1

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.

#EFF7D0

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.

#EBF4D2

Tritanomaly (50%)

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

#CCFCDD

Grayscale (luminance)

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