#EFBEE0

sRGB: 239 / 190 / 224

Infinite horizons reshape eternity
Restless constellations transcend the boundaries of time
Infinite wonders vanish without farewell

#EFBEE0 belongs to the rose family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 239 red, 190 green and 224 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 318.4° lands in the rose region. Its 60.5% saturation makes it partway between gray and the most vivid version of this hue at this lightness. HSL lightness is 84.1% 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 (13.11:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #EFBEE0 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: 13.11:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.60:1

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

#BEEFCD sits half a turn (180°) from #EFBEE0 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.

#EFBEE0 #BEEFCD

Analogous

#E6BEEF and #EFBEC7 sit 30° to either side of #EFBEE0. 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.

#E6BEEF #EFBEE0 #EFBEC7

Triadic

#EFBEE0, #E0EFBE and #BEE0EF are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#EFBEE0 #E0EFBE #BEE0EF

Split complementary

Start at #EFBEE0 and look across the wheel. #C7EFBE and #BEEFE6 sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#EFBEE0 #C7EFBE #BEEFE6

Square

Starting with #EFBEE0, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #EFE6BE, #BEEFCD, then #BEC7EF. Across the square, #EFBEE0 pairs with #BEEFCD, and #EFE6BE with #BEC7EF.

#EFBEE0 #EFE6BE #BEEFCD #BEC7EF

Tetradic

#EFBEE0 and #BEEFCD are opposites, as are #EFCDBE and #BEE0EF. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #EFBEE0 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.

#CACFDE

Tritanopia

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

#F5BFC9

Grayscale (luminance)

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