#FFEBEE

sRGB: 255 / 235 / 238
Color name: Just Pink Enough

Cosmic tempests reshape eternity
Immortal legends shimmer across boundless heavens
Infinite wonders transcend the limits of dreams

The hex code for Just Pink Enough is #FFEBEE. It belongs to the red family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 255 red, 235 green and 238 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 351.0° lands in the red region. Its 100.0% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 96.1% 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 (18.37:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

CMYK uses a profile-free approximation. Printed output depends on the press, ink and paper. Lab uses a D65 white point.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #FFEBEE 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: 18.37:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.14:1

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

#EBFFFC sits half a turn (180°) from #FFEBEE 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.

#FFEBEE #EBFFFC

Analogous

#FFEBF8 and #FFF2EB sit 30° to either side of #FFEBEE. 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.

#FFEBF8 #FFEBEE #FFF2EB

Triadic

#FFEBEE, #EEFFEB and #EBEEFF are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#FFEBEE #EEFFEB #EBEEFF

Split complementary

Start at #FFEBEE and look across the wheel. #EBFFF2 and #EBF8FF sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#FFEBEE #EBFFF2 #EBF8FF

Square

Starting with #FFEBEE, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #F8FFEB, #EBFFFC, then #F2EBFF. Across the square, #FFEBEE pairs with #EBFFFC, and #F8FFEB with #F2EBFF.

#FFEBEE #F8FFEB #EBFFFC #F2EBFF

Tetradic

#FFEBEE and #EBFFFC are opposites, as are #FFFCEB and #EBEEFF. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Color vision previews

Compare how #FFEBEE 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.

#EEEEEE

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.

#F2F1EE

Tritanopia

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

#FFEAEC

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.

#F4EDEE

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.

#F6EFEE

Tritanomaly (50%)

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

#FFEBED

Grayscale (luminance)

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

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.
