#FFCEEF

sRGB: 255 / 206 / 239

Cosmic tempests reshape eternity
Majestic waterfalls transcend the boundaries of time
Infinite wonders echo beyond eternity

#FFCEEF belongs to the rose family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 255 red, 206 green and 239 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 319.6° lands in the rose region. Its 100.0% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 90.4% 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 (15.33:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #FFCEEF 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: 15.33:1

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

#CEFFDE sits half a turn (180°) from #FFCEEF 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.

#FFCEEF #CEFFDE

Analogous

#F6CEFF and #FFCED7 sit 30° to either side of #FFCEEF. 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.

#F6CEFF #FFCEEF #FFCED7

Triadic

#FFCEEF, #EFFFCE and #CEEFFF are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#FFCEEF #EFFFCE #CEEFFF

Split complementary

Start at #FFCEEF and look across the wheel. #D7FFCE and #CEFFF6 sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#FFCEEF #D7FFCE #CEFFF6

Square

Starting with #FFCEEF, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #FFF6CE, #CEFFDE, then #CED7FF. Across the square, #FFCEEF pairs with #CEFFDE, and #FFF6CE with #CED7FF.

#FFCEEF #FFF6CE #CEFFDE #CED7FF

Tetradic

#FFCEEF and #CEFFDE are opposites, as are #FFDECE and #CEEFFF. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #FFCEEF 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.

Tritanopia

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

#FFCFD9

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.
