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 #fddbbc

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 #7C3D04
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #E67107

Meaning and mood

What a colour in this family tends to signal, and how this particular chroma and lightness change the reading.

friendlyenergeticaffordablesocial

Orange is red with the aggression taken out — approachable, active, and strongly associated with buying and doing.

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

Hard to make feel premium, and it collides with the "caution" band in status systems.

Reads as
  • FormalityLow
  • EnergyHigh
  • Weight14/100
  • TemperatureWarm
  • ApproachabilityHigh

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.

#fddbbc, answered

What color is #fddbbc?

#fddbbc is a pale electric orange — the CSS keyword Peach Puff. It sits at 29° on the hue wheel with 94% saturation and 87% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #fddbbc?

rgb(253, 219, 188) — 253 red, 219 green and 188 blue out of 255, or 99.2% / 85.9% / 73.7% by channel.

What is #fddbbc in HSL and HSV?

hsl(29, 94%, 87%) and hsv(29, 26%, 99%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #fddbbc a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.7518 and perceived brightness is 89%, so black text on it reaches 16.04:1.

Should I use black or white text on #fddbbc?

Black. It scores 16.04:1 against #fddbbc, versus 1.31:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #fddbbc accessible on a white background?

#fddbbc on white scores 1.31:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #BA5B06 to reach 4.5:1, or #8D4504 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #fddbbc?

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

What colors go well with #fddbbc?

For interface work: #FAF7F4 as the surface, #EDD5C0 for borders, #9B714B for secondary text, #039DC9 as an accent and #7C3D04 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #FDBCBE and #FDFBBC stays calm, while #BCDEFD is the loudest partner.

What is #fddbbc in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 13%, 26%, 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 #fddbbc warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 1 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #FEE7D5; nudged cooler, #FEC3BB.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #fddbbc?

The yellow family — its 500 step is #eab308, ΔE2000 21.2 away. That is a visible difference, so define #fddbbc as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #fddbbc in Tailwind CSS?

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

rgba(253, 219, 188, 0.5), or #fddbbc80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #FEEDDE; over black, #7F6E5E.

Is #fddbbc a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FFCCCC, ΔE2000 15.2 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #fddbbc mean?

As a orange, it reads friendly, energetic, affordable. Orange is red with the aggression taken out — approachable, active, and strongly associated with buying and doing. At this chroma the effect is amplified — it will dominate whatever sits beside it.

What gradient works with #fddbbc?

The safest is same-hue elevation: linear-gradient(135deg, #FEF4EB, #fddbbc 45%, #7C3D04). For more colour, a short hue run to #E7FC9E keeps it rich without turning muddy.
