#EA3DFD

sRGB: 234 / 61 / 253

#EA3DFD belongs to the magenta family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 234 red, 61 green and 253 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 294.1° lands in the magenta region. Its 98.0% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 61.6% 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 (6.58:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #EA3DFD 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: 6.58:1

Normal text: AA
Large text: AAA

White text: 3.19:1

Normal text: Fail
Large text: AA

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

#50FD3D sits half a turn (180°) from #EA3DFD 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.

#EA3DFD #50FD3D

Analogous

#8A3DFD and #FD3DB0 sit 30° to either side of #EA3DFD. 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.

#8A3DFD #EA3DFD #FD3DB0

Triadic

#EA3DFD, #FDEA3D and #3DFDEA are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#EA3DFD #FDEA3D #3DFDEA

Split complementary

Start at #EA3DFD and look across the wheel. #B0FD3D and #3DFD8A sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#EA3DFD #B0FD3D #3DFD8A

Square

Starting with #EA3DFD, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #FD8A3D, #50FD3D, then #3DB0FD. Across the square, #EA3DFD pairs with #50FD3D, and #FD8A3D with #3DB0FD.

#EA3DFD #FD8A3D #50FD3D #3DB0FD

Tetradic

#EA3DFD and #50FD3D are opposites, as are #FD3D50 and #3DFDEA. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.
