  • 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
  • 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.

expressiveyouthfulwarmconfident

Pink is the fastest way to signal that a product is not another enterprise dashboard. It carries beauty, fashion and culture brands.

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

Strong gendered associations in some markets — test it with the audience you actually have.

#80025f, answered

What color is #80025f?

#80025f is a dark electric magenta / pink, closest to Purple (ΔE2000 7.2). It sits at 316° on the hue wheel with 97% saturation and 26% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #80025f?

rgb(128, 2, 95) — 128 red, 2 green and 95 blue out of 255, or 50.2% / 0.8% / 37.3% by channel.

What is #80025f in HSL and HSV?

hsl(316, 97%, 26%) and hsv(316, 98%, 50%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #80025f a light or a dark color?

It is a dark color. Relative luminance is 0.0546 and perceived brightness is 30%, so white text on it reaches 10.04:1.

Should I use black or white text on #80025f?

White. It scores 10.04:1 against #80025f, versus 2.09:1 for black — AAA at any size.

Is #80025f accessible on a white background?

#80025f on white scores 10.04:1, which clears AAA at every size.

What is the complementary color of #80025f?

#028023 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #208002 and #028062, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #80025f?

For interface work: #FAF4F9 as the surface, #EDC0E1 for borders, #9B4B86 for secondary text, #008202 as an accent and #7E025D for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #620280 and #800220 stays calm, while #028023 is the loudest partner.

What is #80025f in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 98%, 26%, 50%). 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 #80025f warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 41 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #800231; nudged cooler, #740181.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #80025f?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 27 away. That is a visible difference, so define #80025f as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #80025f in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#80025f] or text-[#80025f], 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 #80025f with 50% opacity?

rgba(128, 2, 95, 0.5), or #80025f80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #C081AF; over black, #400130.

Is #80025f a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #990066, ΔE2000 5.1 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.
