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 #fd39fc

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
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
  • Chart series and data categories
Use with care
  • Text of any size on white — fails WCAG AA
  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • 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 #7E017E
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #FD2FFC

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.

#fd39fc, answered

What color is #fd39fc?

#fd39fc is a balanced electric magenta / pink, closest to Magenta (ΔE2000 2.4). It sits at 300° on the hue wheel with 98% saturation and 61% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #fd39fc?

rgb(253, 57, 252) — 253 red, 57 green and 252 blue out of 255, or 99.2% / 22.4% / 98.8% by channel.

What is #fd39fc in HSL and HSV?

hsl(300, 98%, 61%) and hsv(300, 77%, 99%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #fd39fc a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.3084 and perceived brightness is 66%, so black text on it reaches 7.17:1.

Should I use black or white text on #fd39fc?

Black. It scores 7.17:1 against #fd39fc, versus 2.93:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #fd39fc accessible on a white background?

#fd39fc on white scores 2.93:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #CE02CD to reach 4.5:1, or #9C029B for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #fd39fc?

#39FD3A sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #9AFD39 and #39FD9C, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #fd39fc?

For interface work: #FAF4FA as the surface, #EDC0EC for borders, #9B4B9B for secondary text, #32CC00 as an accent and #7E017E for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #9C39FD and #FD399A stays calm, while #39FD3A is the loudest partner.

What is #fd39fc in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 78%, 0%, 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 #fd39fc warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 50 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #FD39B4; nudged cooler, #B737FF.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #fd39fc?

The fuchsia family — its 500 step is #d946ef, ΔE2000 5.5 away. That is a visible difference, so define #fd39fc as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #fd39fc in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#fd39fc] or text-[#fd39fc], 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 #fd39fc with 50% opacity?

rgba(253, 57, 252, 0.5), or #fd39fc80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #FE9CFE; over black, #7F1D7E.

Is #fd39fc a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FF33FF, ΔE2000 0.5 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #fd39fc 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 #fd39fc?

The safest is same-hue elevation: linear-gradient(135deg, #FE76FD, #fd39fc 45%, #7E017E). For more colour, a short hue run to #FD1B52 keeps it rich without turning muddy.
