Colour vision deficiency

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 #eeb7cd

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 #671838
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #DD719C

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 #eeb7cd 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.

#eeb7cd, answered

What color is #eeb7cd?

#eeb7cd is a light vivid magenta / pink, closest to Pink (ΔE2000 5). It sits at 336° on the hue wheel with 62% saturation and 83% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #eeb7cd?

rgb(238, 183, 205) — 238 red, 183 green and 205 blue out of 255, or 93.3% / 71.8% / 80.4% by channel.

What is #eeb7cd in HSL and HSV?

hsl(336, 62%, 83%) and hsv(336, 23%, 93%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #eeb7cd a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.5645 and perceived brightness is 80%, so black text on it reaches 12.29:1.

Should I use black or white text on #eeb7cd?

Black. It scores 12.29:1 against #eeb7cd, versus 1.71:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #eeb7cd accessible on a white background?

#eeb7cd on white scores 1.71:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #D13B77 to reach 4.5:1, or #A32658 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #eeb7cd?

#B7EED8 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #B7EEBC and #B7E8EE, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #eeb7cd?

For interface work: #FAF4F7 as the surface, #EDC0D2 for borders, #9B4B6B for secondary text, #22AA53 as an accent and #671838 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #EEB7E8 and #EEBCB7 stays calm, while #B7EED8 is the loudest partner.

What is #eeb7cd in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 23%, 14%, 7%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #eeb7cd warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 30 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #EEB7B9; nudged cooler, #EFB6E2.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #eeb7cd?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 23.5 away. That is a visible difference, so define #eeb7cd as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #eeb7cd in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#eeb7cd] or text-[#eeb7cd], 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 #eeb7cd with 50% opacity?

rgba(238, 183, 205, 0.5), or #eeb7cd80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #F7DBE6; over black, #775C67.

Is #eeb7cd a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FFCCCC, ΔE2000 8.8 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #eeb7cd 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 #eeb7cd?
