  • 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.

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #95046d 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.

#95046d, answered

What color is #95046d?

#95046d is a dark electric magenta / pink, closest to Dark Magenta (ΔE2000 7.5). It sits at 317° on the hue wheel with 95% saturation and 30% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #95046d?

rgb(149, 4, 109) — 149 red, 4 green and 109 blue out of 255, or 58.4% / 1.6% / 42.7% by channel.

What is #95046d in HSL and HSV?

hsl(317, 95%, 30%) and hsv(317, 97%, 58%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #95046d a light or a dark color?

It is a dark color. Relative luminance is 0.0758 and perceived brightness is 35%, so white text on it reaches 8.35:1.

Should I use black or white text on #95046d?

White. It scores 8.35:1 against #95046d, versus 2.52:1 for black — AAA at any size.

Is #95046d accessible on a white background?

#95046d on white scores 8.35:1, which clears AAA at every size.

What is the complementary color of #95046d?

#04952C sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #249504 and #049575, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #95046d?

For interface work: #FAF4F9 as the surface, #EDC0E0 for borders, #9B4B85 for secondary text, #019805 as an accent and #7C035B for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #750495 and #950424 stays calm, while #04952C is the loudest partner.

What is #95046d in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 97%, 27%, 42%). 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 #95046d 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 #950438; nudged cooler, #890297.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #95046d?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 23.1 away. That is a visible difference, so define #95046d as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #95046d in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#95046d] or text-[#95046d], 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 #95046d with 50% opacity?

rgba(149, 4, 109, 0.5), or #95046d80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #CA82B6; over black, #4B0237.

Is #95046d a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #990066, ΔE2000 2.2 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.
