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 #feeff3

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 #780826
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #F55F87

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.

#feeff3, answered

What color is #feeff3?

#feeff3 is a pale electric magenta / pink — the CSS keyword Lavender Blush. It sits at 344° on the hue wheel with 88% saturation and 97% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #feeff3?

rgb(254, 239, 243) — 254 red, 239 green and 243 blue out of 255, or 99.6% / 93.7% / 95.3% by channel.

What is #feeff3 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(344, 88%, 97%) and hsv(344, 6%, 100%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #feeff3 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.8927 and perceived brightness is 96%, so black text on it reaches 18.85:1.

Should I use black or white text on #feeff3?

Black. It scores 18.85:1 against #feeff3, versus 1.11:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #feeff3 accessible on a white background?

#feeff3 on white scores 1.11:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #EA0F49 to reach 4.5:1, or #B00B37 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #feeff3?

#EFFEFA sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #EFFEF3 and #EFFBFE, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #feeff3?

For interface work: #FAF4F6 as the surface, #EDC0CC for borders, #9B4B60 for secondary text, #0CC060 as an accent and #780826 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #FEEFFB and #FEF3EF stays calm, while #EFFEFA is the loudest partner.

What is #feeff3 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 6%, 4%, 0%). 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 #feeff3 warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 26 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #FEF1EF; nudged cooler, #FEEFF9.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #feeff3?

The amber family — its 500 step is #f59e0b, ΔE2000 34.3 away. That is a visible difference, so define #feeff3 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #feeff3 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#feeff3] or text-[#feeff3], 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 #feeff3 with 50% opacity?

rgba(254, 239, 243, 0.5), or #feeff380 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #FFF7F9; over black, #7F787A.

Is #feeff3 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FFFFFF, ΔE2000 7.6 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #feeff3 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 #feeff3?

The safest is same-hue elevation: linear-gradient(135deg, #FEECF1, #feeff3 45%, #780826). For more colour, a short hue run to #FCE7D2 keeps it rich without turning muddy.
