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 #daafd7

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
  • 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 #572854
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #C27BBD

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 lightness keeps it airy and approachable.

Worth knowing

Strong gendered associations in some markets — test it with the audience you actually have.

#daafd7, answered

What color is #daafd7?

#daafd7 is a light soft magenta / pink, closest to Plum (ΔE2000 5.7). It sits at 304° on the hue wheel with 37% saturation and 77% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #daafd7?

rgb(218, 175, 215) — 218 red, 175 green and 215 blue out of 255, or 85.5% / 68.6% / 84.3% by channel.

What is #daafd7 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(304, 37%, 77%) and hsv(304, 20%, 85%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #daafd7 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.5047 and perceived brightness is 76%, so black text on it reaches 11.09:1.

Should I use black or white text on #daafd7?

Black. It scores 11.09:1 against #daafd7, versus 1.89:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #daafd7 accessible on a white background?

#daafd7 on white scores 1.89:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #AF51A8 to reach 4.5:1, or #853D80 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #daafd7?

#AFDAB2 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #C2DAAF and #AFDAC8, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #daafd7?

For interface work: #FAF5FA as the surface, #E5C7E3 for borders, #9B4B95 for secondary text, #4B8F3D as an accent and #572854 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #C8AFDA and #DAAFC2 stays calm, while #AFDAB2 is the loudest partner.

What is #daafd7 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 20%, 1%, 15%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #daafd7 warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 48 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #DAAFC7; nudged cooler, #CEAEDB.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #daafd7?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 22.8 away. That is a visible difference, so define #daafd7 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #daafd7 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#daafd7] or text-[#daafd7], 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 #daafd7 with 50% opacity?

rgba(218, 175, 215, 0.5), or #daafd780 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #EDD7EB; over black, #6D586C.

Is #daafd7 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CC99CC, ΔE2000 6 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #daafd7 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 moderate chroma the association is present but not shouted.

What gradient works with #daafd7?

The safest is same-hue elevation: linear-gradient(135deg, #EDD9EC, #daafd7 45%, #572854). For more colour, a short hue run to #D09AA4 keeps it rich without turning muddy.
