How to use #f76dcc

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 #790755
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #F550C2

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 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 #f76dcc 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.

#f76dcc, answered

What color is #f76dcc?

#f76dcc is a light electric magenta / pink, closest to Hot Pink (ΔE2000 5.4). It sits at 319° on the hue wheel with 90% saturation and 70% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #f76dcc?

rgb(247, 109, 204) — 247 red, 109 green and 204 blue out of 255, or 96.9% / 42.7% / 80% by channel.

What is #f76dcc in HSL and HSV?

hsl(319, 90%, 70%) and hsv(319, 56%, 97%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #f76dcc a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.3507 and perceived brightness is 68%, so black text on it reaches 8.01:1.

Should I use black or white text on #f76dcc?

Black. It scores 8.01:1 against #f76dcc, versus 2.62:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #f76dcc accessible on a white background?

#f76dcc on white scores 2.62:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #DD0C9C to reach 4.5:1, or #A80977 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #f76dcc?

#6DF798 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #87F76D and #6DF7DD, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #f76dcc?

For interface work: #FAF4F9 as the surface, #EDC0DF for borders, #9B4B82 for secondary text, #07C513 as an accent and #790755 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #DD6DF7 and #F76D87 stays calm, while #6DF798 is the loudest partner.

What is #f76dcc in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 56%, 17%, 3%). 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 #f76dcc warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 40 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #F76D99; nudged cooler, #F16BF9.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #f76dcc?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 10.2 away. That is a visible difference, so define #f76dcc as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #f76dcc in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#f76dcc] or text-[#f76dcc], 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 #f76dcc with 50% opacity?

rgba(247, 109, 204, 0.5), or #f76dcc80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #FBB6E6; over black, #7C3766.

Is #f76dcc a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FF66CC, ΔE2000 1.4 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #f76dcc 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 #f76dcc?
