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 #da71cf

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 #651A5D
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #D869CC

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.

Worth knowing

Strong gendered associations in some markets — test it with the audience you actually have.

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.

#da71cf, answered

What color is #da71cf?

#da71cf is a balanced vivid magenta / pink, closest to Orchid (ΔE2000 1.4). It sits at 306° on the hue wheel with 59% saturation and 65% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #da71cf?

rgb(218, 113, 207) — 218 red, 113 green and 207 blue out of 255, or 85.5% / 44.3% / 81.2% by channel.

What is #da71cf in HSL and HSV?

hsl(306, 59%, 65%) and hsv(306, 48%, 85%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #da71cf a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.3122 and perceived brightness is 64%, so black text on it reaches 7.24:1.

Should I use black or white text on #da71cf?

Black. It scores 7.24:1 against #da71cf, versus 2.90:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #da71cf accessible on a white background?

#da71cf on white scores 2.90:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #C633B7 to reach 4.5:1, or #95278A for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #da71cf?

#71DA7C sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #9ADA71 and #71DAB1, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #da71cf?

For interface work: #FAF4FA as the surface, #EDC0E8 for borders, #9B4B92 for secondary text, #39A626 as an accent and #651A5D for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #B171DA and #DA719A stays calm, while #71DA7C is the loudest partner.

What is #da71cf in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 48%, 5%, 15%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #da71cf warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 47 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #DA71A8; nudged cooler, #BF6FDC.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #da71cf?

The fuchsia family — its 500 step is #d946ef, ΔE2000 9.6 away. That is a visible difference, so define #da71cf as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #da71cf in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#da71cf] or text-[#da71cf], 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 #da71cf with 50% opacity?

rgba(218, 113, 207, 0.5), or #da71cf80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #EDB8E7; over black, #6D3968.

Is #da71cf a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CC66CC, ΔE2000 3.9 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #da71cf 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 #da71cf?
