#CFEEDE

sRGB: 207 / 238 / 222

Celestial flames reshape eternity
Immortal legends transcend the boundaries of time
Fierce revelations transcend the limits of dreams

#CFEEDE belongs to the green-cyan family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 207 red, 238 green and 222 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 149.0° lands in the green-cyan region. Its 47.7% saturation makes it partway between gray and the most vivid version of this hue 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 (16.94:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

CMYK uses a profile-free approximation. Printed output depends on the press, ink and paper. Lab uses a D65 white point.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #CFEEDE 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: 16.94:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.24:1

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

#EECFDF sits half a turn (180°) from #CFEEDE 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.

#CFEEDE #EECFDF

Analogous

#D0EECF and #CFEEEE sit 30° to either side of #CFEEDE. 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.

#D0EECF #CFEEDE #CFEEEE

Triadic

#CFEEDE, #DECFEE and #EEDECF are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#CFEEDE #DECFEE #EEDECF

Split complementary

Start at #CFEEDE and look across the wheel. #EECFEE and #EECFD0 sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#CFEEDE #EECFEE #EECFD0

Square

Starting with #CFEEDE, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #CFD0EE, #EECFDF, then #EEEDCF. Across the square, #CFEEDE pairs with #EECFDF, and #CFD0EE with #EEEDCF.

#CFEEDE #CFD0EE #EECFDF #EEEDCF

Tetradic

#CFEEDE and #EECFDF are opposites, as are #CFDFEE and #EEDECF. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

#CFEEDE #CFDFEE #EECFDF #EEDECF

Tints

Mixing #CFEEDE with white in 20% steps produces this scale. The first mixture, #D9F1E5, keeps 80% of the original. By #F5FCF8, the mixture is 80% white.

Channel breakdown

RGB

#CFEEDE uses 207 red, 238 green and 222 blue. Each bar shows how much of that channel’s 0–255 range the screen uses.

Red 81.2%

Green 93.3%

Blue 87.1%

CMYK

A simple CMYK estimate for #CFEEDE is 13.0% cyan, 0.0% magenta, 6.7% yellow and 6.7% black. These are ink amounts; a printer profile is needed to predict the result on paper.

Cyan 13.0%

Magenta 0.0%

Nearby colors

The nearest shorthand match is #CCEEDD. Its matching digit pairs let you write it as #CED in CSS. For a modern design, keep #CFEEDE when you want an exact match. Use its web-safe neighbor, #CCFFCC, when matching a legacy palette of 216 colors.

Color vision previews

Compare how #CFEEDE 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.

#EDE9DD

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.

#E7E5DF

Tritanopia

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

#C9EEE9

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.

#E3EADE

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.

#E0E8DF

Tritanomaly (50%)

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