#FEEBCA

sRGB: 254 / 235 / 202

Cosmic tempests fracture ancient heavens
Immortal legends shimmer across boundless heavens
Boundless spirits illuminate hidden worlds

#FEEBCA belongs to the orange family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 254 red, 235 green and 202 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 38.1° lands in the orange region. Its 96.3% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 89.4% 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 (17.95:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #FEEBCA 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: 17.95:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.17:1

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

#CADDFE sits half a turn (180°) from #FEEBCA 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.

#FEEBCA #CADDFE

Analogous

#FED1CA and #F7FECA sit 30° to either side of #FEEBCA. 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.

#FED1CA #FEEBCA #F7FECA

Triadic

#FEEBCA, #CAFEEB and #EBCAFE are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#FEEBCA #CAFEEB #EBCAFE

Split complementary

Start at #FEEBCA and look across the wheel. #CAF7FE and #D1CAFE sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#FEEBCA #CAF7FE #D1CAFE

Square

Starting with #FEEBCA, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #CAFED1, #CADDFE, then #FECAF7. Across the square, #FEEBCA pairs with #CADDFE, and #CAFED1 with #FECAF7.

#FEEBCA #CAFED1 #CADDFE #FECAF7

Tetradic

#FEEBCA and #CADDFE are opposites, as are #DDFECA and #EBCAFE. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Channel breakdown

RGB

#FEEBCA uses 254 red, 235 green and 202 blue. Each bar shows how much of that channel’s 0–255 range the screen uses.

Red 99.6%

Green 92.2%

Blue 79.2%

CMYK

A simple CMYK estimate for #FEEBCA is 0.0% cyan, 7.5% magenta, 20.5% yellow and 0.4% black. These are ink amounts; a printer profile is needed to predict the result on paper.

Nearby colors

The nearest shorthand match is #FFEECC. Its matching digit pairs let you write it as #FEC in CSS. For a modern design, keep #FEEBCA when you want an exact match. Use its web-safe neighbor, #FFFFCC, when matching a legacy palette of 216 colors.

Color vision previews

Compare how #FEEBCA 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.

#F4EAC8

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.

#F9EFCB

Tritanopia

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

#FFE5E2

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.

#F8EBC9

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.

#FAEECA

Tritanomaly (50%)

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

Grayscale (luminance)

This design check removes hue and preserves relative luminance so you can compare light and dark areas.

#EDEDED

Partial grayscale (50% blend)

This design check mixes the original color halfway toward its grayscale equivalent in linear light. Use it to see how a design holds up as color fades.
