#F7FFDF

sRGB: 247 / 255 / 223

Cosmic tempests awaken with sunrise
Unbridled forces transform the fabric of existence
Fierce revelations echo beyond eternity

#F7FFDF belongs to the yellow-green family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 247 red, 255 green and 223 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 75.0° lands in the yellow-green region. Its 100.0% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 93.7% 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 (20.32:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #F7FFDF 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: 20.32:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.03:1

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

#E7DFFF sits half a turn (180°) from #F7FFDF 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.

#F7FFDF #E7DFFF

Analogous

#FFF7DF and #E7FFDF sit 30° to either side of #F7FFDF. 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.

#FFF7DF #F7FFDF #E7FFDF

Triadic

#F7FFDF, #DFF7FF and #FFDFF7 are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#F7FFDF #DFF7FF #FFDFF7

Split complementary

Start at #F7FFDF and look across the wheel. #DFE7FF and #F7DFFF sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#F7FFDF #DFE7FF #F7DFFF

Square

Starting with #F7FFDF, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #DFFFF7, #E7DFFF, then #FFDFE7. Across the square, #F7FFDF pairs with #E7DFFF, and #DFFFF7 with #FFDFE7.

#F7FFDF #DFFFF7 #E7DFFF #FFDFE7

Tetradic

#F7FFDF and #E7DFFF are opposites, as are #DFFFE7 and #FFDFF7. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #F7FFDF 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.

#FFFBE0

Tritanopia

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

#FAFBF6
