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 #eba4ba

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 #691730
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #E07294

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 #eba4ba 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.

#eba4ba, answered

What color is #eba4ba?

#eba4ba is a light vivid magenta / pink, closest to Light Pink (ΔE2000 5.8). It sits at 341° on the hue wheel with 64% saturation and 78% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #eba4ba?

rgb(235, 164, 186) — 235 red, 164 green and 186 blue out of 255, or 92.2% / 64.3% / 72.9% by channel.

What is #eba4ba in HSL and HSV?

hsl(341, 64%, 78%) and hsv(341, 30%, 92%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #eba4ba a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.4776 and perceived brightness is 75%, so black text on it reaches 10.55:1.

Should I use black or white text on #eba4ba?

Black. It scores 10.55:1 against #eba4ba, versus 1.99:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #eba4ba accessible on a white background?

#eba4ba on white scores 1.99:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #D43B6B to reach 4.5:1, or #A4244C for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #eba4ba?

#A4EBD5 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #A4EBB1 and #A4DDEB, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #eba4ba?

For interface work: #FAF4F6 as the surface, #EDC0CE for borders, #9B4B63 for secondary text, #21AB5E as an accent and #691730 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #EBA4DD and #EBB1A4 stays calm, while #A4EBD5 is the loudest partner.

What is #eba4ba in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 30%, 21%, 8%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #eba4ba warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 27 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #EBA8A4; nudged cooler, #ECA3D4.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #eba4ba?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 19.2 away. That is a visible difference, so define #eba4ba as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #eba4ba in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#eba4ba] or text-[#eba4ba], 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 #eba4ba with 50% opacity?

rgba(235, 164, 186, 0.5), or #eba4ba80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #F5D2DD; over black, #76525D.

Is #eba4ba a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FF99CC, ΔE2000 7.2 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #eba4ba 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 #eba4ba?

The safest is same-hue elevation: linear-gradient(135deg, #F6D6E0, #eba4ba 45%, #691730). For more colour, a short hue run to #E5B38B keeps it rich without turning muddy.
