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.

  • Focus rings, active and selected states
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
  • Chart series and data categories
Use with care
  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • Pairing with a same-lightness hue — edges vibrate

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 mid lightness keeps it versatile in both themes.

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 #d613ba 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.

#d613ba, answered

What color is #d613ba?

#d613ba is a balanced electric magenta / pink, closest to Medium Orchid (ΔE2000 8.8). It sits at 309° on the hue wheel with 84% saturation and 46% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #d613ba?

rgb(214, 19, 186) — 214 red, 19 green and 186 blue out of 255, or 83.9% / 7.5% / 72.9% by channel.

What is #d613ba in HSL and HSV?

hsl(309, 84%, 46%) and hsv(309, 91%, 84%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #d613ba a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.1831 and perceived brightness is 52%, so black text on it reaches 4.66:1.

Should I use black or white text on #d613ba?

Black. It scores 4.66:1 against #d613ba, versus 4.51:1 for white — AA at any size.

Is #d613ba accessible on a white background?

#d613ba on white scores 4.51:1, which clears AA at every size but not AAA.

What is the complementary color of #d613ba?

#13D62F sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #59D613 and #13D690, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #d613ba?

For interface work: #FAF4FA as the surface, #EDC0E6 for borders, #9B4B8F for secondary text, #1FC00C as an accent and #750A66 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #9013D6 and #D61359 stays calm, while #13D62F is the loudest partner.

What is #d613ba in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 91%, 13%, 16%). 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 #d613ba warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 45 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #D61373; nudged cooler, #AC11D8.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #d613ba?

The fuchsia family — its 500 step is #d946ef, ΔE2000 9.8 away. That is a visible difference, so define #d613ba as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #d613ba in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#d613ba] or text-[#d613ba], 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 #d613ba with 50% opacity?

rgba(214, 19, 186, 0.5), or #d613ba80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #EB89DD; over black, #6B0A5D.

Is #d613ba a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CC00CC, ΔE2000 4.1 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #d613ba mean?

As a magenta / pink, it reads expressive, youthful, warm. 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 effect is amplified — it will dominate whatever sits beside it.
