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 #e082ab

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
  • Card and section backgrounds
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
Use with care
  • Text of any size on white — fails WCAG AA
  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • White text placed on it
  • 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 #66193B
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #DC72A0

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 lightness keeps it airy and approachable.

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 #e082ab 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.

#e082ab, answered

What color is #e082ab?

#e082ab is a light vivid magenta / pink, closest to Pale Violet Red (ΔE2000 5.6). It sits at 334° on the hue wheel with 60% saturation and 69% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #e082ab?

rgb(224, 130, 171) — 224 red, 130 green and 171 blue out of 255, or 87.8% / 51% / 67.1% by channel.

What is #e082ab in HSL and HSV?

hsl(334, 60%, 69%) and hsv(334, 42%, 88%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #e082ab a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.3475 and perceived brightness is 66%, so black text on it reaches 7.95:1.

Should I use black or white text on #e082ab?

Black. It scores 7.95:1 against #e082ab, versus 2.64:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #e082ab accessible on a white background?

#e082ab on white scores 2.64:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #CF3C7C to reach 4.5:1, or #A1285D for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #e082ab?

#82E0B7 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #82E088 and #82DAE0, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #e082ab?

For interface work: #FAF4F7 as the surface, #EDC0D3 for borders, #9B4B6E for secondary text, #25A74D as an accent and #66193B for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #E082DA and #E08882 stays calm, while #82E0B7 is the loudest partner.

What is #e082ab in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 42%, 24%, 12%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #e082ab warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 31 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #E08289; nudged cooler, #E280CE.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #e082ab?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 10.9 away. That is a visible difference, so define #e082ab as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #e082ab in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#e082ab] or text-[#e082ab], 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 #e082ab with 50% opacity?

rgba(224, 130, 171, 0.5), or #e082ab80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #F0C1D5; over black, #704156.

Is #e082ab a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CC9999, ΔE2000 13.2 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #e082ab mean?
