  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • Black text placed on it
  • Pairing with a same-lightness hue — edges vibrate

Meaning and mood

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

friendlyenergeticaffordablesocial

Orange is red with the aggression taken out — approachable, active, and strongly associated with buying and doing.

This is a confident chroma: strong enough to lead a brand, restrained enough to live in an interface all day. The low lightness adds weight and formality.

Worth knowing

Hard to make feel premium, and it collides with the "caution" band in status systems.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #613613 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.

What is #613613 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(27, 67%, 23%) and hsv(27, 80%, 38%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

It is a dark color. Relative luminance is 0.0523 and perceived brightness is 26%, so white text on it reaches 10.27:1.

Should I use black or white text on #613613?

White. It scores 10.27:1 against #613613, versus 2.05:1 for black — AAA at any size.

What colors go well with #613613?

For interface work: #FAF7F4 as the surface, #EDD4C0 for borders, #9B6F4B for secondary text, #115363 as an accent and #6B3B15 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #611317 and #615D13 stays calm, while #133E61 is the loudest partner.

What is #613613 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 44%, 80%, 62%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Warm — it scores 2 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #764017; nudged cooler, #621812.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #613613?

The stone family — its 500 step is #78716c, ΔE2000 24.3 away. That is a visible difference, so define #613613 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #613613 in Tailwind CSS?

What is #613613 with 50% opacity?

rgba(97, 54, 19, 0.5), or #61361380 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #B09B89; over black, #311B0A.

Is #613613 a web-safe color?
