How to use #645310

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
  • Thin strokes and 1px borders — they disappear on light UI
  • 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.

optimisticalertcheap-and-cheerfulvisible

The most visible hue at low light levels, which is why it owns warnings, hazard tape and value retail.

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

Almost never passes contrast against white. Treat it as a surface or a marker, not as text.

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #645310 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.

#645310, answered

#645310 is a deep vivid yellow, closest to Dark Olive Green (ΔE2000 14.9). It sits at 48° on the hue wheel with 72% saturation and 23% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #645310?

What is #645310 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(48, 72%, 23%) and hsv(48, 84%, 39%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

For interface work: #FAF9F4 as the surface, #EDE4C0 for borders, #9B8B4B for secondary text, #0E3666 as an accent and #6E5B12 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #642910 and #4B6410 stays calm, while #102164 is the loudest partner.

cmyk(0%, 17%, 84%, 61%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #645310?

The stone family — its 500 step is #78716c, ΔE2000 21.5 away. That is a visible difference, so define #645310 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #645310 in Tailwind CSS?

What is #645310 with 50% opacity?

rgba(100, 83, 16, 0.5), or #64531080 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #B2A988; over black, #322A08.
