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 #f7b0ce

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 #740C38
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #EF619D

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 #f7b0ce 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.

#f7b0ce, answered

What color is #f7b0ce?

#f7b0ce is a light electric magenta / pink, closest to Light Pink (ΔE2000 6.3). It sits at 335° on the hue wheel with 82% saturation and 83% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #f7b0ce?

rgb(247, 176, 206) — 247 red, 176 green and 206 blue out of 255, or 96.9% / 69% / 80.8% by channel.

What is #f7b0ce in HSL and HSV?

hsl(335, 82%, 83%) and hsv(335, 29%, 97%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #f7b0ce a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.5528 and perceived brightness is 80%, so black text on it reaches 12.06:1.

Should I use black or white text on #f7b0ce?

Black. It scores 12.06:1 against #f7b0ce, versus 1.74:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #f7b0ce accessible on a white background?

#f7b0ce on white scores 1.74:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #E2176D to reach 4.5:1, or #AB1152 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #f7b0ce?

#B0F7D9 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #B0F7B5 and #B0F2F7, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #f7b0ce?

For interface work: #FAF4F7 as the surface, #EDC0D3 for borders, #9B4B6D for secondary text, #0EBE46 as an accent and #740C38 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #F7B0F2 and #F7B5B0 stays calm, while #B0F7D9 is the loudest partner.

What is #f7b0ce in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 29%, 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 #f7b0ce warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 31 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #F7B0B4; nudged cooler, #F8AFE9.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #f7b0ce?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 21.4 away. That is a visible difference, so define #f7b0ce as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #f7b0ce in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#f7b0ce] or text-[#f7b0ce], 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 #f7b0ce with 50% opacity?

rgba(247, 176, 206, 0.5), or #f7b0ce80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #FBD8E7; over black, #7C5867.

Is #f7b0ce a web-safe color?
