#FED2CC

sRGB: 254 / 210 / 204

Cosmic tempests fracture ancient heavens
Electric visions tremble in empty gardens
Boundless spirits awaken sleeping galaxies

#FED2CC belongs to the red family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 254 red, 210 green and 204 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 7.2° lands in the red region. Its 96.2% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 89.8% 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 (15.30:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #FED2CC 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: 15.30:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.37:1

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

#CCF8FE sits half a turn (180°) from #FED2CC 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.

#FED2CC #CCF8FE

Analogous

#FECCDF and #FEEBCC sit 30° to either side of #FED2CC. 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.

#FECCDF #FED2CC #FEEBCC

Triadic

#FED2CC, #CCFED2 and #D2CCFE are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#FED2CC #CCFED2 #D2CCFE

Split complementary

Start at #FED2CC and look across the wheel. #CCFEEB and #CCDFFE sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#FED2CC #CCFEEB #CCDFFE

Square

Starting with #FED2CC, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #DFFECC, #CCF8FE, then #EBCCFE. Across the square, #FED2CC pairs with #CCF8FE, and #DFFECC with #EBCCFE.

#FED2CC #DFFECC #CCF8FE #EBCCFE

Tetradic

#FED2CC and #CCF8FE are opposites, as are #F8FECC and #D2CCFE. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #FED2CC 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.

#DBD7CB

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.

#E5DFCC

Tritanopia

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

#FFCDD0

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.
