#EB94DE

sRGB: 235 / 148 / 222

#EB94DE belongs to the magenta family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 235 red, 148 green and 222 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 309.0° lands in the magenta region. Its 68.5% saturation makes it partway between gray and the most vivid version of this hue at this lightness. HSL lightness is 75.1% 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 (9.82:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #EB94DE 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: 9.82:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 2.14:1

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

#94EBA1 sits half a turn (180°) from #EB94DE 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.

#EB94DE #94EBA1

Analogous

#CC94EB and #EB94B3 sit 30° to either side of #EB94DE. 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.

#CC94EB #EB94DE #EB94B3

Triadic

#EB94DE, #DEEB94 and #94DEEB are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#EB94DE #DEEB94 #94DEEB

Split complementary

Start at #EB94DE and look across the wheel. #B3EB94 and #94EBCC sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#EB94DE #B3EB94 #94EBCC

Square

Starting with #EB94DE, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #EBCC94, #94EBA1, then #94B3EB. Across the square, #EB94DE pairs with #94EBA1, and #EBCC94 with #94B3EB.

#EB94DE #EBCC94 #94EBA1 #94B3EB

Tetradic

#EB94DE and #94EBA1 are opposites, as are #EBA194 and #94DEEB. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #EB94DE 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.

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.
