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.

The muted chroma softens the association — it reads considered rather than loud, which suits long-form and data-heavy screens. The low lightness adds weight and formality.

Worth knowing

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

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #883674 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.

#883674 is a dark soft magenta / pink, closest to Dark Magenta (ΔE2000 8.7). It sits at 315° on the hue wheel with 43% saturation and 37% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #883674?

rgb(136, 54, 116) — 136 red, 54 green and 116 blue out of 255, or 53.3% / 21.2% / 45.5% by channel.

What is #883674 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(315, 43%, 37%) and hsv(315, 60%, 53%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

It is a dark color. Relative luminance is 0.0913 and perceived brightness is 37%, so white text on it reaches 7.43:1.

Should I use black or white text on #883674?

White. It scores 7.43:1 against #883674, versus 2.83:1 for black — AAA at any size.

For interface work: #FAF4F9 as the surface, #E8C5DF for borders, #9B4B87 for secondary text, #338C32 as an accent and #5B244E for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #733688 and #88364B stays calm, while #36884A is the loudest partner.

What is #883674 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 60%, 15%, 47%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #883674?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 22.2 away. That is a visible difference, so define #883674 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #883674 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#883674] or text-[#883674], 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 #883674 with 50% opacity?

rgba(136, 54, 116, 0.5), or #88367480 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #C49BBA; over black, #441B3A.
