How to use #c07da7

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

Works well for

  • Charts, tags and secondary surfaces
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
  • Chart series and data categories
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 #562A45

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 mid lightness keeps it versatile in both themes.

Worth knowing

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

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.

#c07da7, answered

What color is #c07da7?

#c07da7 is a balanced soft magenta / pink, closest to Pale Violet Red (ΔE2000 8.5). It sits at 322° on the hue wheel with 35% saturation and 62% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #c07da7?

rgb(192, 125, 167) — 192 red, 125 green and 167 blue out of 255, or 75.3% / 49% / 65.5% by channel.

What is #c07da7 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(322, 35%, 62%) and hsv(322, 35%, 75%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #c07da7 a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.2866 and perceived brightness is 60%, so black text on it reaches 6.73:1.

Should I use black or white text on #c07da7?

Black. It scores 6.73:1 against #c07da7, versus 3.12:1 for white — AA at any size.

Is #c07da7 accessible on a white background?

#c07da7 on white scores 3.12:1, which only clears AA for large text — 18.66px bold or 24px regular and up. Darken it to #AE578D to reach 4.5:1, or #83406A for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #c07da7?

#7DC096 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #86C07D and #7DC0B8, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #c07da7?

For interface work: #FAF5F8 as the surface, #E4C8DA for borders, #9B4B7D for secondary text, #3E8E49 as an accent and #562A45 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #B87DC0 and #C07D86 stays calm, while #7DC096 is the loudest partner.

What is #c07da7 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 35%, 13%, 25%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #c07da7 warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 38 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #C07D8F; nudged cooler, #C27BC2.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #c07da7?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 12.2 away. That is a visible difference, so define #c07da7 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #c07da7 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#c07da7] or text-[#c07da7], 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 #c07da7 with 50% opacity?

rgba(192, 125, 167, 0.5), or #c07da780 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #E0BED3; over black, #603F54.

Is #c07da7 a web-safe color?
