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 #d1e2cf

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
  • Status meaning — pair it with an icon or label, never colour alone
  • 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 #334F30
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #69A163

Meaning and mood

What a colour in this family tends to signal, and how this particular chroma and lightness change the reading.

safegrowingnaturalpermissive

Green means go, well, and grown. It carries finance, sustainability and health with almost no explanation needed.

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

Red/green pairs are the most common colour-blindness failure — never let the two carry meaning alone.

#d1e2cf, answered

What color is #d1e2cf?

#d1e2cf is a light soft green, closest to Honey Dew (ΔE2000 6.6). It sits at 114° on the hue wheel with 25% saturation and 85% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #d1e2cf?

rgb(209, 226, 207) — 209 red, 226 green and 207 blue out of 255, or 82% / 88.6% / 81.2% by channel.

What is #d1e2cf in HSL and HSV?

hsl(114, 25%, 85%) and hsv(114, 8%, 89%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #d1e2cf a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.7245 and perceived brightness is 86%, so black text on it reaches 15.49:1.

Should I use black or white text on #d1e2cf?

Black. It scores 15.49:1 against #d1e2cf, versus 1.36:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #d1e2cf accessible on a white background?

#d1e2cf on white scores 1.36:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #527F4D to reach 4.5:1, or #3D5F39 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #d1e2cf?

#E0CFE2 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #D6CFE2 and #E2CFDA, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #d1e2cf?

For interface work: #F6F9F5 as the surface, #CEE0CC for borders, #5C8F56 for secondary text, #6F4884 as an accent and #334F30 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #DAE2CF and #CFE2D6 stays calm, while #E0CFE2 is the loudest partner.

What is #d1e2cf in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(8%, 0%, 8%, 11%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #d1e2cf warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 57 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #D8E2CF; nudged cooler, #CEE3D4.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #d1e2cf?

The teal family — its 500 step is #14b8a6, ΔE2000 23.2 away. That is a visible difference, so define #d1e2cf as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #d1e2cf in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#d1e2cf] or text-[#d1e2cf], 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 #d1e2cf with 50% opacity?

rgba(209, 226, 207, 0.5), or #d1e2cf80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #E8F1E7; over black, #697168.

Is #d1e2cf a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CCCCCC, ΔE2000 12.2 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #d1e2cf mean?
