#DEEFDA

sRGB: 222 / 239 / 218

Thunderous oceans fracture ancient heavens
Immortal legends transform the fabric of existence
Fierce revelations illuminate hidden worlds

#DEEFDA belongs to the green family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 222 red, 239 green and 218 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 108.6° lands in the green region. Its 39.6% saturation makes it partway between gray and the most vivid version of this hue 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 (17.46:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #DEEFDA 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: 17.46:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.20:1

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

#EBDAEF sits half a turn (180°) from #DEEFDA 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.

#DEEFDA #EBDAEF

Analogous

#E9EFDA and #DAEFE1 sit 30° to either side of #DEEFDA. 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.

#E9EFDA #DEEFDA #DAEFE1

Triadic

#DEEFDA, #DADEEF and #EFDADE are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#DEEFDA #DADEEF #EFDADE

Split complementary

Start at #DEEFDA and look across the wheel. #E1DAEF and #EFDAE9 sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#DEEFDA #E1DAEF #EFDAE9

Square

Starting with #DEEFDA, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #DAE9EF, #EBDAEF, then #EFE1DA. Across the square, #DEEFDA pairs with #EBDAEF, and #DAE9EF with #EFE1DA.

#DEEFDA #DAE9EF #EBDAEF #EFE1DA

Tetradic

#DEEFDA and #EBDAEF are opposites, as are #DAEFEB and #EFDADE. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

#DEEFDA #DAEFEB #EBDAEF #EFDADE

Tints

Mixing #DEEFDA with white in 20% steps produces this scale. The first mixture, #E5F2E1, keeps 80% of the original. By #F8FCF8, the mixture is 80% white.

Channel breakdown

RGB

#DEEFDA uses 222 red, 239 green and 218 blue. Each bar shows how much of that channel’s 0–255 range the screen uses.

Red 87.1%

Green 93.7%

Blue 85.5%

CMYK

A simple CMYK estimate for #DEEFDA is 7.1% cyan, 0.0% magenta, 8.8% yellow and 6.3% black. These are ink amounts; a printer profile is needed to predict the result on paper.

Cyan 7.1%

Magenta 0.0%

Nearby colors

The nearest shorthand match is #DDEEDD. Its matching digit pairs let you write it as #DED in CSS. For a modern design, keep #DEEFDA 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 #DEEFDA 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.

#F1EBD9

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.

#EEE9DB

Tritanopia

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

#DDEDE9

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.

#EAECDA

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.

#E9EBDB

Tritanomaly (50%)

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

#DFEEDF

Grayscale (luminance)

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

#EAEAEA

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.
