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 #eabfac

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 #66311A
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #D47D57

Meaning and mood

What a colour in this family tends to signal, and how this particular chroma and lightness change the reading.

friendlyenergeticaffordablesocial

Orange is red with the aggression taken out — approachable, active, and strongly associated with buying and doing.

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

Hard to make feel premium, and it collides with the "caution" band in status systems.

#eabfac, answered

What color is #eabfac?

#eabfac is a light vivid orange, closest to Peach Puff (ΔE2000 8.7). It sits at 18° on the hue wheel with 60% saturation and 80% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #eabfac?

rgb(234, 191, 172) — 234 red, 191 green and 172 blue out of 255, or 91.8% / 74.9% / 67.5% by channel.

What is #eabfac in HSL and HSV?

hsl(18, 60%, 80%) and hsv(18, 26%, 92%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #eabfac a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.5773 and perceived brightness is 80%, so black text on it reaches 12.55:1.

Should I use black or white text on #eabfac?

Black. It scores 12.55:1 against #eabfac, versus 1.67:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #eabfac accessible on a white background?

#eabfac on white scores 1.67:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #BA592F to reach 4.5:1, or #8D4424 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #eabfac?

#ACD7EA sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #ACEADE and #ACB8EA, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #eabfac?

For interface work: #FAF6F4 as the surface, #EDCEC0 for borders, #9B634B for secondary text, #259FA7 as an accent and #66311A for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #EAACB8 and #EADEAC stays calm, while #ACD7EA is the loudest partner.

What is #eabfac in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 18%, 27%, 8%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #eabfac warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 6 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #EFD3C0; nudged cooler, #EBABAF.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #eabfac?

The amber family — its 500 step is #f59e0b, ΔE2000 21.9 away. That is a visible difference, so define #eabfac as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #eabfac in Tailwind CSS?

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

rgba(234, 191, 172, 0.5), or #eabfac80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #F5DFD6; over black, #756056.

Is #eabfac a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FFCC99, ΔE2000 10.4 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #eabfac mean?

As a orange, it reads friendly, energetic, affordable. Orange is red with the aggression taken out — approachable, active, and strongly associated with buying and doing. At this chroma the effect is amplified — it will dominate whatever sits beside it.

What gradient works with #eabfac?

The safest is same-hue elevation: linear-gradient(135deg, #F6E5DD, #eabfac 45%, #66311A). For more colour, a short hue run to #DFE494 keeps it rich without turning muddy.
