#D7DFD0

sRGB: 215 / 223 / 208

Thunderous oceans awaken with sunrise
Electric visions transform the fabric of existence
Fierce revelations vanish without farewell

#D7DFD0 belongs to the yellow-green family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 215 red, 223 green and 208 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 92.0° lands in the yellow-green region. Its 19.0% saturation makes it close to gray at this lightness. HSL lightness is 84.5% 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 (15.36:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #D7DFD0 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: 15.36:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.37:1

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

#D8D0DF sits half a turn (180°) from #D7DFD0 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.

#D7DFD0 #D8D0DF

Analogous

#DFDFD0 and #D0DFD1 sit 30° to either side of #D7DFD0. 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.

#DFDFD0 #D7DFD0 #D0DFD1

Triadic

#D7DFD0, #D0D7DF and #DFD0D7 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 #D7DFD0 and look across the wheel. #D1D0DF and #DFD0DF sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#D7DFD0 #D1D0DF #DFD0DF

Square

Starting with #D7DFD0, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #D0DFDF, #D8D0DF, then #DFD1D0. Across the square, #D7DFD0 pairs with #D8D0DF, and #D0DFDF with #DFD1D0.

Color vision previews

Compare how #D7DFD0 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.

#E1DDCF

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.

#DFDCD1

Tritanopia

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

#D8DDDB

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.

#DDDDD0

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.
