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

How to use #eef2f0

Derived from its contrast, chroma and lightness — not from taste.

Works well for
  • Text and icons on dark surfaces
  • Borders, dividers and quiet backgrounds
  • Long-form reading surfaces
  • Card and section backgrounds
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
Use with care
  • Text of any size on white — fails WCAG AA
  • White text placed on it
  • Status meaning — pair it with an icon or label, never colour alone
  • 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 #374840
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #7A9A8A

Meaning and mood

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

safegrowingnaturalpermissive

Green means go, well, and grown. It carries finance, sustainability and health with almost no explanation needed.

With almost no chroma left, the family association is barely present; treat it as a neutral that happens to lean this way. The high lightness makes it recede — a surface colour rather than a statement.

Worth knowing

Red/green pairs are the most common colour-blindness failure — never let the two carry meaning alone.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #eef2f0 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.

#eef2f0, answered

What color is #eef2f0?

#eef2f0 is a pale muted green, closest to White Smoke (ΔE2000 2.6). It sits at 150° on the hue wheel with 13% saturation and 94% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #eef2f0?

rgb(238, 242, 240) — 238 red, 242 green and 240 blue out of 255, or 93.3% / 94.9% / 94.1% by channel.

What is #eef2f0 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(150, 13%, 94%) and hsv(150, 2%, 95%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #eef2f0 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.8797 and perceived brightness is 94%, so black text on it reaches 18.59:1.

Should I use black or white text on #eef2f0?

Black. It scores 18.59:1 against #eef2f0, versus 1.13:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #eef2f0 accessible on a white background?

#eef2f0 on white scores 1.13:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #5F7D6E to reach 4.5:1, or #475D52 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #eef2f0?

#F2EEF0 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #F2EEF2 and #F2EEEE, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #eef2f0?

For interface work: #F6F8F7 as the surface, #D1DCD6 for borders, #638273 for secondary text, #7A526D as an accent and #374840 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #EEF2EE and #EEF2F2 stays calm, while #F2EEF0 is the loudest partner.

What is #eef2f0 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(2%, 0%, 1%, 5%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #eef2f0 warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 60 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #EEF2EE; nudged cooler, #EEF2F2.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #eef2f0?

The cyan family — its 500 step is #06b6d4, ΔE2000 28.2 away. That is a visible difference, so define #eef2f0 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #eef2f0 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#eef2f0] or text-[#eef2f0], 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 #eef2f0 with 50% opacity?

rgba(238, 242, 240, 0.5), or #eef2f080 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #F7F9F8; over black, #777978.

Is #eef2f0 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FFFFFF, ΔE2000 3.7 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #eef2f0 mean?

As a green, it reads safe, growing, natural. Green means go, well, and grown. It carries finance, sustainability and health with almost no explanation needed. At this low chroma the association is faint; it behaves more like a neutral.

What gradient works with #eef2f0?
