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 #d76cdd

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

Works well for
  • 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
  • Text of any size on white — fails WCAG AA
  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • 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 #631868
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #D668DC

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.

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.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #d76cdd 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.

#d76cdd, answered

What color is #d76cdd?

#d76cdd is a balanced vivid magenta / pink, closest to Orchid (ΔE2000 2). It sits at 297° on the hue wheel with 62% saturation and 65% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #d76cdd?

rgb(215, 108, 221) — 215 red, 108 green and 221 blue out of 255, or 84.3% / 42.4% / 86.7% by channel.

What is #d76cdd in HSL and HSV?

hsl(297, 62%, 65%) and hsv(297, 51%, 87%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #d76cdd a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.3039 and perceived brightness is 64%, so black text on it reaches 7.08:1.

Should I use black or white text on #d76cdd?

Black. It scores 7.08:1 against #d76cdd, versus 2.97:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #d76cdd accessible on a white background?

#d76cdd on white scores 2.97:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #C52FCD to reach 4.5:1, or #912397 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #d76cdd?

#72DD6C sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #ABDD6C and #6CDD9E, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #d76cdd?

For interface work: #FAF4FA as the surface, #EAC0ED for borders, #974B9B for secondary text, #4BAA22 as an accent and #631868 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #9E6CDD and #DD6CAB stays calm, while #72DD6C is the loudest partner.

What is #d76cdd in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(3%, 51%, 0%, 13%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #d76cdd warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 52 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #DD6CBA; nudged cooler, #AE6ADF.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #d76cdd?

The fuchsia family — its 500 step is #d946ef, ΔE2000 6.9 away. That is a visible difference, so define #d76cdd as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #d76cdd in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#d76cdd] or text-[#d76cdd], 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 #d76cdd with 50% opacity?

rgba(215, 108, 221, 0.5), or #d76cdd80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #EBB6EE; over black, #6C366F.

Is #d76cdd a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CC66CC, ΔE2000 3.3 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #d76cdd 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.

What gradient works with #d76cdd?
