How to use #d44667

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
  • 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
24px / 18.66px bold
Safe as a fill behind white type
No — use #67182A
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.

urgentappetisingboldphysical

Red arrives before the rest of the page does. It raises attention and appetite, which is why it runs food, sport and clearance pricing.

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

It is also the universal error colour. Use it as a brand accent and users may read a warning that is not there.

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #d44667 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.

#d44667, answered

What color is #d44667?

#d44667 is a balanced vivid red, closest to Indian Red (ΔE2000 8.1). It sits at 346° on the hue wheel with 62% saturation and 55% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #d44667?

rgb(212, 70, 103) — 212 red, 70 green and 103 blue out of 255, or 83.1% / 27.5% / 40.4% by channel.

What is #d44667 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(346, 62%, 55%) and hsv(346, 67%, 83%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #d44667 a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.1936 and perceived brightness is 52%, so black text on it reaches 4.87:1.

Should I use black or white text on #d44667?

Black. It scores 4.87:1 against #d44667, versus 4.31:1 for white — AA at any size.

Is #d44667 accessible on a white background?

#d44667 on white scores 4.31:1, which only clears AA for large text — 18.66px bold or 24px regular and up. Darken it to #D23E60 to reach 4.5:1, or #A32643 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #d44667?

#46D4B3 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #46D46C and #46AED4, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #d44667?

For interface work: #FAF4F6 as the surface, #EDC0CA for borders, #9B4B5D for secondary text, #22AA69 as an accent and #67182A for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #D446AE and #D46C46 stays calm, while #46D4B3 is the loudest partner.

What is #d44667 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 67%, 51%, 17%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #d44667 warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 24 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #D45946; nudged cooler, #D6449B.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #d44667?

The rose family — its 500 step is #f43f5e, ΔE2000 7.2 away. That is a visible difference, so define #d44667 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #d44667 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#d44667] or text-[#d44667], 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 #d44667 with 50% opacity?
