Roughly one man in twelve has some form of colour vision deficiency. If any of the three panels above is hard to tell apart from a neighbouring colour in your palette, add a shape, an icon or a label so the meaning does not rest on hue alone.

  • Body text and links on white
  • Text and icons on dark surfaces
  • Primary buttons and calls to action
  • Focus rings, active and selected states
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
  • Chart series and data categories
Use with care
  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • 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.

This is a confident chroma: strong enough to lead a brand, restrained enough to live in an interface all day. 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.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #d024b0 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.

#d024b0, answered

What color is #d024b0?

#d024b0 is a balanced vivid magenta / pink, closest to Medium Violet Red (ΔE2000 7.9). It sits at 311° on the hue wheel with 71% saturation and 48% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #d024b0?

rgb(208, 36, 176) — 208 red, 36 green and 176 blue out of 255, or 81.6% / 14.1% / 69% by channel.

What is #d024b0 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(311, 71%, 48%) and hsv(311, 83%, 82%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #d024b0 a light or a dark color?

It is a dark color. Relative luminance is 0.1781 and perceived brightness is 51%, so white text on it reaches 4.60:1.

Should I use black or white text on #d024b0?

White. It scores 4.60:1 against #d024b0, versus 4.56:1 for black — AA at any size.

Is #d024b0 accessible on a white background?

#d024b0 on white scores 4.60:1, which clears AA at every size but not AAA.

What is the complementary color of #d024b0?

#24D044 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #5AD024 and #24D09A, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #d024b0?

For interface work: #FAF4F9 as the surface, #EDC0E4 for borders, #9B4B8C for secondary text, #24B21A as an accent and #6D135C for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #9A24D0 and #D0245A stays calm, while #24D044 is the loudest partner.

What is #d024b0 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 83%, 15%, 18%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #d024b0 warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 44 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #D02471; nudged cooler, #B222D2.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #d024b0?

The fuchsia family — its 500 step is #d946ef, ΔE2000 10.9 away. That is a visible difference, so define #d024b0 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #d024b0 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#d024b0] or text-[#d024b0], 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 #d024b0 with 50% opacity?

rgba(208, 36, 176, 0.5), or #d024b080 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #E892D8; over black, #681258.

Is #d024b0 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CC3399, ΔE2000 4.5 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.
