Colour vision deficiency

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 #ceeacf

Derived from its contrast, chroma and lightness — not from taste.

Works well for
  • Text and icons on dark surfaces
  • Charts, tags and secondary surfaces
  • Card and section backgrounds
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
Use with care
  • Text of any size on white — fails WCAG AA
  • White text placed on it
  • Status meaning — pair it with an icon or label, never colour alone
  • 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 #265928
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #47A54A

Meaning and mood

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

safegrowingnaturalpermissive

Green means go, well, and grown. It carries finance, sustainability and health with almost no explanation needed.

The muted chroma softens the association — it reads considered rather than loud, which suits long-form and data-heavy screens. The high lightness makes it recede — a surface colour rather than a statement.

Worth knowing

Red/green pairs are the most common colour-blindness failure — never let the two carry meaning alone.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #ceeacf 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.

#ceeacf, answered

What color is #ceeacf?

#ceeacf is a pale soft green, closest to Honey Dew (ΔE2000 7.8). It sits at 122° on the hue wheel with 40% saturation and 86% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #ceeacf?

rgb(206, 234, 207) — 206 red, 234 green and 207 blue out of 255, or 80.8% / 91.8% / 81.2% by channel.

What is #ceeacf in HSL and HSV?

hsl(122, 40%, 86%) and hsv(122, 12%, 92%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #ceeacf a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.7647 and perceived brightness is 87%, so black text on it reaches 16.29:1.

Should I use black or white text on #ceeacf?

Black. It scores 16.29:1 against #ceeacf, versus 1.29:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #ceeacf accessible on a white background?

#ceeacf on white scores 1.29:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #39853C to reach 4.5:1, or #2B652D for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #ceeacf?

#EACEE9 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #DDCEEA and #EACEDB, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #ceeacf?

For interface work: #F4FAF5 as the surface, #C6E7C7 for borders, #4B9B4D for secondary text, #803A92 as an accent and #265928 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #DBEACE and #CEEADD stays calm, while #EACEE9 is the loudest partner.

What is #ceeacf in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(12%, 0%, 12%, 8%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #ceeacf warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 63 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #D7EACE; nudged cooler, #CDEBD9.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #ceeacf?

The teal family — its 500 step is #14b8a6, ΔE2000 22.4 away. That is a visible difference, so define #ceeacf as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #ceeacf in Tailwind CSS?

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

rgba(206, 234, 207, 0.5), or #ceeacf80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #E7F5E7; over black, #677568.

Is #ceeacf a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CCFFCC, ΔE2000 7.9 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #ceeacf mean?

As a green, it reads safe, growing, natural. Green means go, well, and grown. It carries finance, sustainability and health with almost no explanation needed. At this moderate chroma the association is present but not shouted.

What gradient works with #ceeacf?

The safest is same-hue elevation: linear-gradient(135deg, #F1F9F1, #ceeacf 45%, #265928). For more colour, a short hue run to #B9E1D8 keeps it rich without turning muddy.
