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.

How to use #fccedf

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 #780731
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #F55F97

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

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 #fccedf 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.

#fccedf, answered

What color is #fccedf?

#fccedf is a pale electric magenta / pink, closest to Pink (ΔE2000 5.2). It sits at 338° on the hue wheel with 89% saturation and 90% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #fccedf?

rgb(252, 206, 223) — 252 red, 206 green and 223 blue out of 255, or 98.8% / 80.8% / 87.5% by channel.

What is #fccedf in HSL and HSV?

hsl(338, 89%, 90%) and hsv(338, 18%, 99%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #fccedf a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.7017 and perceived brightness is 87%, so black text on it reaches 15.03:1.

Should I use black or white text on #fccedf?

Black. It scores 15.03:1 against #fccedf, versus 1.40:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #fccedf accessible on a white background?

#fccedf on white scores 1.40:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #E60E5E to reach 4.5:1, or #AC0A46 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #fccedf?

#CEFCEB sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #CEFCD4 and #CEF6FC, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #fccedf?

For interface work: #FAF4F7 as the surface, #EDC0D0 for borders, #9B4B68 for secondary text, #08C44E as an accent and #780731 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #FCCEF6 and #FCD4CE stays calm, while #CEFCEB is the loudest partner.

What is #fccedf in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 18%, 12%, 1%). 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 #fccedf warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 29 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #FCCECE; nudged cooler, #FDCDF0.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #fccedf?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 28.4 away. That is a visible difference, so define #fccedf as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #fccedf in Tailwind CSS?

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

rgba(252, 206, 223, 0.5), or #fccedf80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #FEE7EF; over black, #7E6770.

Is #fccedf a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FFCCCC, ΔE2000 6.3 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #fccedf 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 #fccedf?

The safest is same-hue elevation: linear-gradient(135deg, #FEECF2, #fccedf 45%, #780731). For more colour, a short hue run to #FACDB1 keeps it rich without turning muddy.
