#FAC2FF

sRGB: 250 / 194 / 255

Cosmic tempests flourish beyond boundaries
Majestic waterfalls tremble in empty gardens
Celestial symphonies echo beyond eternity

#FAC2FF belongs to the magenta family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 250 red, 194 green and 255 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 295.1° lands in the magenta region. Its 100.0% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 88.0% 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 (14.23:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #FAC2FF 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: 14.23:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.48:1

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

#C7FFC2 sits half a turn (180°) from #FAC2FF 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.

#FAC2FF #C7FFC2

Analogous

#DBC2FF and #FFC2E6 sit 30° to either side of #FAC2FF. 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.

#DBC2FF #FAC2FF #FFC2E6

Triadic

#FAC2FF, #FFFAC2 and #C2FFFA are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

Split complementary

Start at #FAC2FF and look across the wheel. #E6FFC2 and #C2FFDB sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#FAC2FF #E6FFC2 #C2FFDB

Square

Starting with #FAC2FF, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #FFDBC2, #C7FFC2, then #C2E6FF. Across the square, #FAC2FF pairs with #C7FFC2, and #FFDBC2 with #C2E6FF.

#FAC2FF #FFDBC2 #C7FFC2 #C2E6FF

Tetradic

#FAC2FF and #C7FFC2 are opposites, as are #FFC2C7 and #C2FFFA. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #FAC2FF 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.

#BDD0FF

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.

#CAD7FD

Tritanopia

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

#FDC8D7

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.
