#EBFC13

sRGB: 235 / 252 / 19

Infinite horizons rise against oblivion
Unbridled forces thunder through timeless canyons
Pale reflections linger beyond yesterday

#EBFC13 belongs to the yellow family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 235 red, 252 green and 19 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 64.4° lands in the yellow region. Its 97.5% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 53.1% 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 (18.47:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #EBFC13 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: 18.47:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.14:1

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

#2413FC sits half a turn (180°) from #EBFC13 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.

#EBFC13 #2413FC

Analogous

#FC9913 and #76FC13 sit 30° to either side of #EBFC13. 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.

#FC9913 #EBFC13 #76FC13

Triadic

#EBFC13, #13EBFC and #FC13EB are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#EBFC13 #13EBFC #FC13EB

Split complementary

Start at #EBFC13 and look across the wheel. #1377FC and #9913FC sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#EBFC13 #1377FC #9913FC

Square

Starting with #EBFC13, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #13FC99, #2413FC, then #FC1377. Across the square, #EBFC13 pairs with #2413FC, and #13FC99 with #FC1377.

#EBFC13 #13FC99 #2413FC #FC1377

Tetradic

#EBFC13 and #2413FC are opposites, as are #13FC24 and #FC13EB. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #EBFC13 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.

#FFEF00

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.

#FFF237

Tritanopia

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

#FBECD7

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.
