How to use #d3d2f4

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 #1B1966
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #8B88E2

Meaning and mood

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

trustedcalmcompetentcorporate

The default of institutions for a reason: blue is read as stable and safe across nearly every culture that has been surveyed.

This is a confident chroma: strong enough to lead a brand, restrained enough to live in an interface all day. The high lightness makes it recede — a surface colour rather than a statement.

Worth knowing

It is also the most crowded hue on the web. Distinctiveness has to come from your other choices.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #d3d2f4 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.

#d3d2f4, answered

What color is #d3d2f4?

#d3d2f4 is a pale vivid blue, closest to Lavender (ΔE2000 6.4). It sits at 242° on the hue wheel with 61% saturation and 89% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #d3d2f4?

rgb(211, 210, 244) — 211 red, 210 green and 244 blue out of 255, or 82.7% / 82.4% / 95.7% by channel.

What is #d3d2f4 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(242, 61%, 89%) and hsv(242, 14%, 96%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #d3d2f4 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.6647 and perceived brightness is 84%, so black text on it reaches 14.29:1.

Should I use black or white text on #d3d2f4?

Black. It scores 14.29:1 against #d3d2f4, versus 1.47:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #d3d2f4 accessible on a white background?

#d3d2f4 on white scores 1.47:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #6B67DA to reach 4.5:1, or #4742D1 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #d3d2f4?

#F3F4D2 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #F4E4D2 and #E2F4D2, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #d3d2f4?

For interface work: #F4F4FA as the surface, #C1C0ED for borders, #4D4B9B for secondary text, #A88B24 as an accent and #1B1966 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #D2E2F4 and #E4D2F4 stays calm, while #F3F4D2 is the loudest partner.

What is #d3d2f4 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(14%, 14%, 0%, 4%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #d3d2f4 warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 82 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #DFD2F4; nudged cooler, #D1DDF5.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #d3d2f4?

The sky family — its 500 step is #0ea5e9, ΔE2000 29.1 away. That is a visible difference, so define #d3d2f4 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #d3d2f4 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#d3d2f4] or text-[#d3d2f4], 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 #d3d2f4 with 50% opacity?
