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 #d095cb

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

Works well for
  • Text and icons on dark surfaces
  • Charts, tags and secondary surfaces
  • Card and section backgrounds
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
Use with care
  • Text of any size on white — fails WCAG AA
  • White text placed on it
  • Pairing with a same-lightness hue — edges vibrate
Minimum size as text on white
Not as text
Safe as a fill behind white type
No — use #582754
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #C57CBF

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 lightness keeps it airy and approachable.

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 #d095cb 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.

#d095cb, answered

What color is #d095cb?

#d095cb is a light soft magenta / pink, closest to Plum (ΔE2000 3.7). It sits at 305° on the hue wheel with 39% saturation and 70% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #d095cb?

rgb(208, 149, 203) — 208 red, 149 green and 203 blue out of 255, or 81.6% / 58.4% / 79.6% by channel.

What is #d095cb in HSL and HSV?

hsl(305, 39%, 70%) and hsv(305, 28%, 82%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #d095cb a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.3922 and perceived brightness is 69%, so black text on it reaches 8.84:1.

Should I use black or white text on #d095cb?

Black. It scores 8.84:1 against #d095cb, versus 2.37:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #d095cb accessible on a white background?

#d095cb on white scores 2.37:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #B14EA8 to reach 4.5:1, or #863B80 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #d095cb?

#95D09A sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #ADD095 and #95D0B8, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #d095cb?

For interface work: #FAF4FA as the surface, #E6C6E3 for borders, #9B4B94 for secondary text, #49913B as an accent and #582754 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #B895D0 and #D095AD stays calm, while #95D09A is the loudest partner.

What is #d095cb in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 28%, 2%, 18%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #d095cb warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 47 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #D095B5; nudged cooler, #C093D2.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #d095cb?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 17.3 away. That is a visible difference, so define #d095cb as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #d095cb in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#d095cb] or text-[#d095cb], 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 #d095cb with 50% opacity?

rgba(208, 149, 203, 0.5), or #d095cb80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #E8CAE5; over black, #684B66.

Is #d095cb a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CC99CC, ΔE2000 1.6 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #d095cb mean?
