How to use #847564

Derived from its contrast, chroma and lightness — not from taste.

Works well for
  • Headings from 24px up on white
  • Text and icons on dark surfaces
  • Borders, dividers and quiet backgrounds
  • Long-form reading surfaces
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
Use with care
  • Small text on white — under 4.5:1
  • Pairing with a same-lightness hue — edges vibrate
Minimum size as text on white
24px / 18.66px bold
Safe as a fill behind white type
No — use #494037
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.

friendlyenergeticaffordablesocial

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

With almost no chroma left, the family association is barely present; treat it as a neutral that happens to lean this way. The mid lightness keeps it versatile in both themes.

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 #847564 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.

#847564, answered

What color is #847564?

#847564 is a balanced muted orange, closest to Gray (ΔE2000 10.2). It sits at 32° on the hue wheel with 14% saturation and 46% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #847564?

rgb(132, 117, 100) — 132 red, 117 green and 100 blue out of 255, or 51.8% / 45.9% / 39.2% by channel.

What is #847564 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(32, 14%, 46%) and hsv(32, 24%, 52%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #847564 a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.1855 and perceived brightness is 47%, so black text on it reaches 4.71:1.

Should I use black or white text on #847564?

Black. It scores 4.71:1 against #847564, versus 4.46:1 for white — AA at any size.

Is #847564 accessible on a white background?

#847564 on white scores 4.46:1, which only clears AA for large text — 18.66px bold or 24px regular and up. Darken it to #817262 to reach 4.5:1, or #61564A for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #847564?

#647384 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #648384 and #656484, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #847564?

For interface work: #F8F7F6 as the surface, #DCD7D1 for borders, #837463 for secondary text, #5F7D89 as an accent and #494037 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #846564 and #838464 stays calm, while #647384 is the loudest partner.

What is #847564 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 11%, 24%, 48%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #847564 warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 31 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #927F6F; nudged cooler, #868362.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #847564?

The stone family — its 500 step is #78716c, ΔE2000 6.2 away. That is a visible difference, so define #847564 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #847564 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#847564] or text-[#847564], 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 #847564 with 50% opacity?
