#FFEECA

sRGB: 255 / 238 / 202

Cosmic tempests reshape eternity
Immortal legends transcend the boundaries of time
Boundless spirits illuminate hidden worlds

#FFEECA belongs to the orange family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 255 red, 238 green and 202 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 40.8° lands in the orange region. Its 100.0% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 89.6% 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 (18.33:1), 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 #FFEECA 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: 18.33:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.15:1

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

#CADBFF sits half a turn (180°) from #FFEECA 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.

#FFEECA #CADBFF

Analogous

#FFD4CA and #F5FFCA sit 30° to either side of #FFEECA. 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.

#FFD4CA #FFEECA #F5FFCA

Triadic

#FFEECA, #CAFFEE and #EECAFF are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#FFEECA #CAFFEE #EECAFF

Split complementary

Start at #FFEECA and look across the wheel. #CAF5FF and #D4CAFF sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#FFEECA #CAF5FF #D4CAFF

Square

Starting with #FFEECA, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #CAFFD4, #CADBFF, then #FFCAF5. Across the square, #FFEECA pairs with #CADBFF, and #CAFFD4 with #FFCAF5.

#FFEECA #CAFFD4 #CADBFF #FFCAF5

Tetradic

#FFEECA and #CADBFF are opposites, as are #DBFFCA and #EECAFF. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.

Shades

Mixing #FFEECA with black in 20% steps produces this scale. The first mixture, #CCBEA2, keeps 80% of the original. By #333028, the mixture is 80% black.

Channel breakdown

RGB

#FFEECA uses 255 red, 238 green and 202 blue. Each bar shows how much of that channel’s 0–255 range the screen uses.

Red 100.0%

Green 93.3%

Blue 79.2%

CMYK

A simple CMYK estimate for #FFEECA is 0.0% cyan, 6.7% magenta, 20.8% yellow and 0.0% black. These are ink amounts; a printer profile is needed to predict the result on paper.

Cyan 0.0%

Magenta 6.7%

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 #FFEECA 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 #FFEECA 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.

#F7EDC8

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.

#FBF1CB

Tritanopia

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

#FFE8E4

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.

#FAEEC9

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.

Tritanomaly (50%)

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

#FFECD4

Grayscale (luminance)

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