Roughly one man in twelve has some form of colour vision deficiency. If any of the three panels above is hard to tell apart from a neighbouring colour in your palette, add a shape, an icon or a label so the meaning does not rest on hue alone.

How to use #350c01

Derived from its contrast, chroma and lightness — not from taste.

Works well for
  • Body text and links on white
  • Primary buttons and calls to action
  • Focus rings, active and selected states
  • Headers, footers and dark-mode surfaces
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
Use with care
  • Text on black or near-black surfaces
  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • Black text placed on it
  • Status meaning — pair it with an icon or label, never colour alone
  • Pairing with a same-lightness hue — edges vibrate
Minimum size as text on white
Any size
Safe as a fill behind white type
Yes
Safe as a 1px border on white

Meaning and mood

What a colour in this family tends to signal, and how this particular chroma and lightness change the reading.

urgentappetisingboldphysical

Red arrives before the rest of the page does. It raises attention and appetite, which is why it runs food, sport and clearance pricing.

At this chroma the association is amplified — it will dominate anything placed beside it, so give it space and use it sparingly. The low lightness adds weight and formality.

Worth knowing

It is also the universal error colour. Use it as a brand accent and users may read a warning that is not there.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #350c01 over white; the bottom row is the same alpha over a checkerboard, so you can see what survives on a photo or a video.

Bottom row of hexes is the flattened result over white — use those when a design tool refuses transparency, or when you need a solid fallback.

#350c01, answered

What color is #350c01?

#350c01 is a deep electric red, closest to Maroon (ΔE2000 16.9). It sits at 13° on the hue wheel with 96% saturation and 11% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #350c01?

rgb(53, 12, 1) — 53 red, 12 green and 1 blue out of 255, or 20.8% / 4.7% / 0.4% by channel.

What is #350c01 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(13, 96%, 11%) and hsv(13, 98%, 21%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #350c01 a light or a dark color?

It is a dark color. Relative luminance is 0.0102 and perceived brightness is 12%, so white text on it reaches 17.44:1.

Should I use black or white text on #350c01?

White. It scores 17.44:1 against #350c01, versus 1.20:1 for black — AAA at any size.

Is #350c01 accessible on a white background?

#350c01 on white scores 17.44:1, which clears AAA at every size.

What is the complementary color of #350c01?

#012A35 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #013526 and #011035, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #350c01?

For interface work: #FAF6F4 as the surface, #EDC9C0 for borders, #9B5C4B for secondary text, #003634 as an accent and #7D1C02 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #350110 and #352601 stays calm, while #012A35 is the loudest partner.

What is #350c01 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 77%, 98%, 79%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — a color this saturated sits outside most CMYK gamuts and will print duller than it looks here.

Is #350c01 warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 10 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #351501; nudged cooler, #360009.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #350c01?

The stone family — its 500 step is #78716c, ΔE2000 33.6 away. That is a visible difference, so define #350c01 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #350c01 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#350c01] or text-[#350c01], or register the whole ramp under theme.extend.colors.brand so you get bg-brand-500 and friends. The generated 50–950 scale on this page is ready to paste into your config.

What is #350c01 with 50% opacity?

rgba(53, 12, 1, 0.5), or #350c0180 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #9A8680; over black, #1B0601.

Is #350c01 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #330000, ΔE2000 5 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #350c01 mean?
