#F7DFDF

sRGB: 247 / 223 / 223

Cosmic tempests awaken with sunrise
Electric visions transform the fabric of existence
Fierce revelations echo beyond eternity

#F7DFDF belongs to the red family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 247 red, 223 green and 223 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 0.0° lands in the red region. Its 60.0% saturation makes it partway between gray and the most vivid version of this hue at this lightness. HSL lightness is 92.2% 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 (16.58:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #F7DFDF 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: 16.58:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.27:1

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

#DFF7F7 sits half a turn (180°) from #F7DFDF 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.

#F7DFDF #DFF7F7

Analogous

#F7DFEB and #F7EBDF sit 30° to either side of #F7DFDF. 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.

#F7DFEB #F7DFDF #F7EBDF

Triadic

#F7DFDF, #DFF7DF and #DFDFF7 are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#F7DFDF #DFF7DF #DFDFF7

Split complementary

Start at #F7DFDF and look across the wheel. #DFF7EB and #DFEBF7 sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#F7DFDF #DFF7EB #DFEBF7

Square

Starting with #F7DFDF, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #EBF7DF, #DFF7F7, then #EBDFF7. Across the square, #F7DFDF pairs with #DFF7F7, and #EBF7DF with #EBDFF7.

#F7DFDF #EBF7DF #DFF7F7 #EBDFF7

Tetradic

#F7DFDF and #DFF7F7 are opposites, as are #F7F7DF and #DFDFF7. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #F7DFDF 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.

#E3E2DF

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.

#E8E6DF

Tritanopia

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

#FDDDDF

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.

#EAE1DF

Deuteranomaly (50%)

An altered medium-wavelength cone response can reduce the visible difference between reds and greens. This swatch shows the model’s halfway setting.

#EDE4DF

Tritanomaly (50%)

An altered short-wavelength cone response can make blue harder to distinguish from green. This swatch shows the model’s halfway setting.
