  • Charts, tags and secondary surfaces
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
  • Chart series and data categories
Use with care

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.

The muted chroma softens the association — it reads considered rather than loud, which suits long-form and data-heavy screens. 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.

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.

#c67f95, answered

What color is #c67f95?

#c67f95 is a balanced soft magenta / pink, closest to Pale Violet Red (ΔE2000 5.6). It sits at 341° on the hue wheel with 38% saturation and 64% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #c67f95?

rgb(198, 127, 149) — 198 red, 127 green and 149 blue out of 255, or 77.6% / 49.8% / 58.4% by channel.

What is #c67f95 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(341, 38%, 64%) and hsv(341, 36%, 78%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #c67f95 a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.2935 and perceived brightness is 60%, so black text on it reaches 6.87:1.

Should I use black or white text on #c67f95?

Black. It scores 6.87:1 against #c67f95, versus 3.06:1 for white — AA at any size.

Is #c67f95 accessible on a white background?

#c67f95 on white scores 3.06:1, which only clears AA for large text — 18.66px bold or 24px regular and up. Darken it to #B55875 to reach 4.5:1, or #8C3E56 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #c67f95?

#7FC6B0 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #7FC68C and #7FB8C6, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #c67f95?

For interface work: #FAF4F6 as the surface, #E6C7D0 for borders, #9B4B63 for secondary text, #3A9261 as an accent and #582736 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #C67FB8 and #C68C7F stays calm, while #7FC6B0 is the loudest partner.

What is #c67f95 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 36%, 25%, 22%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #c67f95 warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 27 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #C6837F; nudged cooler, #C87DB0.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #c67f95?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 12.8 away. That is a visible difference, so define #c67f95 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #c67f95 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#c67f95] or text-[#c67f95], 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 #c67f95 with 50% opacity?
