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.

At this chroma the association is amplified — it will dominate anything placed beside it, so give it space and use it sparingly. The low lightness adds weight and formality.

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 #d30171 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.

#d30171, answered

What color is #d30171?

#d30171 is a dark electric magenta / pink, closest to Medium Violet Red (ΔE2000 5.7). It sits at 328° on the hue wheel with 99% saturation and 42% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #d30171?

rgb(211, 1, 113) — 211 red, 1 green and 113 blue out of 255, or 82.7% / 0.4% / 44.3% by channel.

What is #d30171 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(328, 99%, 42%) and hsv(328, 100%, 83%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #d30171 a light or a dark color?

It is a dark color. Relative luminance is 0.1506 and perceived brightness is 48%, so white text on it reaches 5.23:1.

Should I use black or white text on #d30171?

White. It scores 5.23:1 against #d30171, versus 4.01:1 for black — AA at any size.

Is #d30171 accessible on a white background?

#d30171 on white scores 5.23:1, which clears AA at every size but not AAA.

What is the complementary color of #d30171?

#01D363 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #08D301 and #01D3CC, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #d30171?

For interface work: #FAF4F8 as the surface, #EDC0D8 for borders, #9B4B75 for secondary text, #00CC2C as an accent and #7F0144 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #CC01D3 and #D30108 stays calm, while #01D363 is the loudest partner.

What is #d30171 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 100%, 46%, 17%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — a color this saturated sits outside most CMYK gamuts and will print duller than it looks here.

Is #d30171 warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 34 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #D30124; nudged cooler, #D400BF.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #d30171?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 11.5 away. That is a visible difference, so define #d30171 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #d30171 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#d30171] or text-[#d30171], 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 #d30171 with 50% opacity?

rgba(211, 1, 113, 0.5), or #d3017180 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #E980B8; over black, #6A0139.

Is #d30171 a web-safe color?
