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.

  • 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
  • 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 #702b13 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.

#702b13, answered

What color is #702b13?

#702b13 is a dark vivid orange, closest to Maroon (ΔE2000 7.4). It sits at 16° on the hue wheel with 71% saturation and 26% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #702b13?

rgb(112, 43, 19) — 112 red, 43 green and 19 blue out of 255, or 43.9% / 16.9% / 7.5% by channel.

What is #702b13 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(16, 71%, 26%) and hsv(15, 83%, 44%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #702b13 a light or a dark color?

It is a dark color. Relative luminance is 0.0522 and perceived brightness is 27%, so white text on it reaches 10.27:1.

Should I use black or white text on #702b13?

White. It scores 10.27:1 against #702b13, versus 2.04:1 for black — AAA at any size.

Is #702b13 accessible on a white background?

#702b13 on white scores 10.27:1, which clears AAA at every size.

What is the complementary color of #702b13?

#135870 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #13705A and #132970, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #702b13?

For interface work: #FAF6F4 as the surface, #EDCBC0 for borders, #9B5F4B for secondary text, #107273 as an accent and #6D2A12 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #701329 and #705A13 stays calm, while #135870 is the loudest partner.

What is #702b13 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 62%, 83%, 56%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #702b13 warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 8 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #703613; nudged cooler, #71121C.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #702b13?

The stone family — its 500 step is #78716c, ΔE2000 26.7 away. That is a visible difference, so define #702b13 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #702b13 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#702b13] or text-[#702b13], 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 #702b13 with 50% opacity?

rgba(112, 43, 19, 0.5), or #702b1380 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #B89589; over black, #38160A.

Is #702b13 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #663300, ΔE2000 8.8 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.
