#DBFED7

sRGB: 219 / 254 / 215

Thunderous oceans rise against oblivion
Unbridled forces transcend the boundaries of time
Fierce revelations embrace the coming dawn

#DBFED7 belongs to the green family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 219 red, 254 green and 215 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 113.8° lands in the green region. Its 95.1% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 92.0% 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 (19.17:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #DBFED7 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: 19.17:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.10:1

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

#FAD7FE sits half a turn (180°) from #DBFED7 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.

#DBFED7 #FAD7FE

Analogous

#EFFED7 and #D7FEE7 sit 30° to either side of #DBFED7. 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.

#EFFED7 #DBFED7 #D7FEE7

Triadic

#DBFED7, #D7DBFE and #FED7DB are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#DBFED7 #D7DBFE #FED7DB

Split complementary

Start at #DBFED7 and look across the wheel. #E6D7FE and #FED7EF sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#DBFED7 #E6D7FE #FED7EF

Square

Starting with #DBFED7, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #D7EFFE, #FAD7FE, then #FEE6D7. Across the square, #DBFED7 pairs with #FAD7FE, and #D7EFFE with #FEE6D7.

#DBFED7 #D7EFFE #FAD7FE #FEE6D7

Tetradic

#DBFED7 and #FAD7FE are opposites, as are #D7FEFA and #FED7DB. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #DBFED7 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.

#FFF7D5

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.

#FAF3D9

Tritanopia

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

#D9FBF3

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.

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.

#F2F7D8

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

#DCFDE2

Grayscale (luminance)

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

Partial grayscale (50% blend)

This design check mixes the original color halfway toward its grayscale equivalent in linear light. Use it to see how a design holds up as color fades.
