#FD01CB

sRGB: 253 / 1 / 203

Cosmic tempests command forgotten kingdoms
Silent memories disappear beneath stillness
Boundless spirits defy the passing ages

#FD01CB belongs to the magenta family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 253 red, 1 green and 203 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 311.9° lands in the magenta region. Its 99.2% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 49.8% 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 (6.04:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #FD01CB 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: 6.04:1

Normal text: AA
Large text: AAA

White text: 3.47:1

Normal text: Fail
Large text: AA

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

#01FD33 sits half a turn (180°) from #FD01CB 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.

#FD01CB #01FD33

Analogous

#B101FD and #FD014D sit 30° to either side of #FD01CB. 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.

#B101FD #FD01CB #FD014D

Triadic

#FD01CB, #CBFD01 and #01CBFD are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

Square

Starting with #FD01CB, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #FDB101, #01FD33, then #014DFD. Across the square, #FD01CB pairs with #01FD33, and #FDB101 with #014DFD.

#FD01CB #FDB101 #01FD33 #014DFD

Tetradic

#FD01CB and #01FD33 are opposites, as are #FD3301 and #01CBFD. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #FD01CB 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.
