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.

Color scale — 50 to 950

A Tailwind-shaped ramp built around this exact hex. #eedfc7 is pinned to step 200; the rest hold its hue and let saturation ease off at the extremes so the pale end never turns neon.

How to use #eedfc7

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 #62481E
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #BE8B3A

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 high lightness makes it recede — a surface colour rather than a statement.

Worth knowing

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

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #eedfc7 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.

#eedfc7, answered

What color is #eedfc7?

#eedfc7 is a pale vivid orange, closest to Antique White (ΔE2000 3.1). It sits at 37° on the hue wheel with 53% saturation and 86% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #eedfc7?

rgb(238, 223, 199) — 238 red, 223 green and 199 blue out of 255, or 93.3% / 87.5% / 78% by channel.

What is #eedfc7 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(37, 53%, 86%) and hsv(37, 16%, 93%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #eedfc7 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.7508 and perceived brightness is 88%, so black text on it reaches 16.02:1.

Should I use black or white text on #eedfc7?

Black. It scores 16.02:1 against #eedfc7, versus 1.31:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #eedfc7 accessible on a white background?

#eedfc7 on white scores 1.31:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #976F2E to reach 4.5:1, or #705222 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #eedfc7?

#C7D6EE sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #C7EAEE and #CCC7EE, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #eedfc7?

For interface work: #FAF8F4 as the surface, #ECDBC0 for borders, #9B7C4B for secondary text, #2D759F as an accent and #62481E for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #EECCC7 and #EAEEC7 stays calm, while #C7D6EE is the loudest partner.

What is #eedfc7 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 6%, 16%, 7%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #eedfc7 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 #EED9C7; nudged cooler, #EFEEC6.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #eedfc7?

The yellow family — its 500 step is #eab308, ΔE2000 22.9 away. That is a visible difference, so define #eedfc7 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #eedfc7 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#eedfc7] or text-[#eedfc7], 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 #eedfc7 with 50% opacity?

rgba(238, 223, 199, 0.5), or #eedfc780 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #F7EFE3; over black, #777064.

Is #eedfc7 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FFCCCC, ΔE2000 18.7 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #eedfc7 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 #eedfc7?

The safest is same-hue elevation: linear-gradient(135deg, #FAF6EF, #eedfc7 45%, #62481E). For more colour, a short hue run to #D3E7B0 keeps it rich without turning muddy.
