How to use #f63cba

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

Works well for
  • Headings from 24px up on white
  • Text and icons on dark surfaces
  • Primary buttons and calls to action
  • Focus rings, active and selected states
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
  • Chart series and data categories
Use with care
  • Small text on white — under 4.5:1
  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • Pairing with a same-lightness hue — edges vibrate
Minimum size as text on white
24px / 18.66px bold
Safe as a fill behind white type
No — use #7A0654
Safe as a 1px border on white
Yes

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.

At this chroma the association is amplified — it will dominate anything placed beside it, so give it space and use it sparingly. The mid lightness keeps it versatile in both themes.

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 #f63cba 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.

#f63cba, answered

What color is #f63cba?

#f63cba is a balanced electric magenta / pink, closest to Deep Pink (ΔE2000 7.5). It sits at 319° on the hue wheel with 91% saturation and 60% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #f63cba?

rgb(246, 60, 186) — 246 red, 60 green and 186 blue out of 255, or 96.5% / 23.5% / 72.9% by channel.

What is #f63cba in HSL and HSV?

hsl(319, 91%, 60%) and hsv(319, 76%, 96%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #f63cba a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.2637 and perceived brightness is 61%, so black text on it reaches 6.27:1.

Should I use black or white text on #f63cba?

Black. It scores 6.27:1 against #f63cba, versus 3.35:1 for white — AA at any size.

Is #f63cba accessible on a white background?

#f63cba on white scores 3.35:1, which only clears AA for large text — 18.66px bold or 24px regular and up. Darken it to #DB0A98 to reach 4.5:1, or #A60873 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #f63cba?

#3CF678 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #5DF63C and #3CF6D5, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #f63cba?

For interface work: #FAF4F8 as the surface, #EDC0DE for borders, #9B4B81 for secondary text, #05C713 as an accent and #7A0654 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #D53CF6 and #F63C5D stays calm, while #3CF678 is the loudest partner.

What is #f63cba in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 76%, 24%, 4%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — a color this saturated sits outside most CMYK gamuts and will print duller than it looks here.

Is #f63cba warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 39 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #F63C76; nudged cooler, #F03AF8.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #f63cba?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 6.3 away. That is a visible difference, so define #f63cba as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #f63cba in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#f63cba] or text-[#f63cba], 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 #f63cba with 50% opacity?

rgba(246, 60, 186, 0.5), or #f63cba80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #FB9EDD; over black, #7B1E5D.

Is #f63cba a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FF33CC, ΔE2000 2.9 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #f63cba 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 #f63cba?
