Color scale — 50 to 950

A Tailwind-shaped ramp built around this exact hex. #647413 is pinned to step 900; the rest hold its hue and let saturation ease off at the extremes so the pale end never turns neon.

How to use #647413

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
  • 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

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.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #647413 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.

#647413, answered

What color is #647413?

#647413 is a dark vivid yellow, closest to Dark Olive Green (ΔE2000 7.4). It sits at 70° on the hue wheel with 72% saturation and 27% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #647413?

rgb(100, 116, 19) — 100 red, 116 green and 19 blue out of 255, or 39.2% / 45.5% / 7.5% by channel.

What is #647413 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(70, 72%, 27%) and hsv(70, 84%, 45%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #647413 a light or a dark color?

It is a dark color. Relative luminance is 0.1525 and perceived brightness is 41%, so white text on it reaches 5.19:1.

Should I use black or white text on #647413?

White. It scores 5.19:1 against #647413, versus 4.05:1 for black — AA at any size.

Is #647413 accessible on a white background?

#647413 on white scores 5.19:1, which clears AA at every size but not AAA.

What is the complementary color of #647413?

#231374 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #133474 and #541374, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #647413?

For interface work: #F9FAF4 as the surface, #E5EDC0 for borders, #8E9B4B for secondary text, #101977 as an accent and #5E6E12 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #745413 and #347413 stays calm, while #231374 is the loudest partner.

What is #647413 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(14%, 0%, 84%, 55%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #647413 warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 33 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #746113; nudged cooler, #407612.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #647413?

The stone family — its 500 step is #78716c, ΔE2000 23.3 away. That is a visible difference, so define #647413 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #647413 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#647413] or text-[#647413], 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 #647413 with 50% opacity?
