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.

How to use #d024cf

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
  • 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
  • Small text on white — under 4.5:1
  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • 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 #6D136C
Safe as a 1px border on white
Yes

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.

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #d024cf 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.

#d024cf, answered

What color is #d024cf?

#d024cf is a balanced vivid magenta / pink, closest to Medium Orchid (ΔE2000 6.2). It sits at 300° on the hue wheel with 71% saturation and 48% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #d024cf?

rgb(208, 36, 207) — 208 red, 36 green and 207 blue out of 255, or 81.6% / 14.1% / 81.2% by channel.

What is #d024cf in HSL and HSV?

hsl(300, 71%, 48%) and hsv(300, 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 #d024cf a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.1918 and perceived brightness is 53%, so black text on it reaches 4.84:1.

Should I use black or white text on #d024cf?

Black. It scores 4.84:1 against #d024cf, versus 4.34:1 for white — AA at any size.

Is #d024cf accessible on a white background?

#d024cf on white scores 4.34:1, which only clears AA for large text — 18.66px bold or 24px regular and up. Darken it to #CB23CB to reach 4.5:1, or #971A97 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #d024cf?

#24D025 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #79D024 and #24D07B, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #d024cf?

For interface work: #FAF4FA as the surface, #EDC0EC for borders, #9B4B9B for secondary text, #3FB21A as an accent and #6D136C for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #7B24D0 and #D02479 stays calm, while #24D025 is the loudest partner.

What is #d024cf in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 83%, 1%, 18%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #d024cf warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 50 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #D02490; nudged cooler, #9222D2.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #d024cf?

The fuchsia family — its 500 step is #d946ef, ΔE2000 6.9 away. That is a visible difference, so define #d024cf as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #d024cf in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#d024cf] or text-[#d024cf], 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 #d024cf with 50% opacity?

rgba(208, 36, 207, 0.5), or #d024cf80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #E892E7; over black, #681268.

Is #d024cf a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CC33CC, ΔE2000 1.2 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #d024cf mean?
