#EA005F belongs to the rose family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 234 red, 0 green and 95 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 335.6° lands in the rose region. Its 100.0% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 45.9% 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 (4.66:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #EA005F 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: 4.66:1

Normal text: AA
Large text: AAA

White text: 4.50:1

Normal text: AA
Large text: AAA

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

#00EA8B sits half a turn (180°) from #EA005F 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.

#EA005F #00EA8B

Analogous

#EA00D4 and #EA1600 sit 30° to either side of #EA005F. 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.

#EA00D4 #EA005F #EA1600

Triadic

#EA005F, #5FEA00 and #005FEA are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#EA005F #5FEA00 #005FEA

Split complementary

Start at #EA005F and look across the wheel. #00EA16 and #00D4EA sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#EA005F #00EA16 #00D4EA

Square

Starting with #EA005F, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #D4EA00, #00EA8B, then #1600EA. Across the square, #EA005F pairs with #00EA8B, and #D4EA00 with #1600EA.
