#FFD2BF

sRGB: 255 / 210 / 191

Cosmic tempests reshape eternity
Electric visions tremble in empty gardens
Eternal flames echo beyond eternity

#FFD2BF belongs to the orange family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 255 red, 210 green and 191 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 17.8° lands in the orange region. Its 100.0% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 87.5% 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 (15.22:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #FFD2BF 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: 15.22:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.38:1

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

#BFECFF sits half a turn (180°) from #FFD2BF 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.

#FFD2BF #BFECFF

Analogous

#FFBFCC and #FFF2BF sit 30° to either side of #FFD2BF. 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.

#FFBFCC #FFD2BF #FFF2BF

Triadic

#FFD2BF, #BFFFD2 and #D2BFFF are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#FFD2BF #BFFFD2 #D2BFFF

Split complementary

Start at #FFD2BF and look across the wheel. #BFFFF2 and #BFCCFF sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#FFD2BF #BFFFF2 #BFCCFF

Square

Starting with #FFD2BF, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #CCFFBF, #BFECFF, then #F2BFFF. Across the square, #FFD2BF pairs with #BFECFF, and #CCFFBF with #F2BFFF.

#FFD2BF #CCFFBF #BFECFF #F2BFFF

Tetradic

#FFD2BF and #BFECFF are opposites, as are #ECFFBF and #D2BFFF. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #FFD2BF 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.

#DDD6BE

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.

#E8DFBF

Tritanopia

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

#FFCBCD

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.

#EAD6BE

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.

#EEDABF
