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 #e47fdf

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 #691665
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #DE61D8

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.

This is a confident chroma: strong enough to lead a brand, restrained enough to live in an interface all day. The lightness keeps it airy and approachable.

Worth knowing

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

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #e47fdf 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.

#e47fdf, answered

What color is #e47fdf?

#e47fdf is a light vivid magenta / pink, closest to Violet (ΔE2000 2.5). It sits at 303° on the hue wheel with 65% saturation and 70% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #e47fdf?

rgb(228, 127, 223) — 228 red, 127 green and 223 blue out of 255, or 89.4% / 49.8% / 87.5% by channel.

What is #e47fdf in HSL and HSV?

hsl(303, 65%, 70%) and hsv(303, 44%, 89%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #e47fdf a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.3700 and perceived brightness is 69%, so black text on it reaches 8.40:1.

Should I use black or white text on #e47fdf?

Black. It scores 8.40:1 against #e47fdf, versus 2.50:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #e47fdf accessible on a white background?

#e47fdf on white scores 2.50:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #C92AC1 to reach 4.5:1, or #962090 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #e47fdf?

#7FE484 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #ACE47F and #7FE4B7, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #e47fdf?

For interface work: #FAF4FA as the surface, #EDC0EA for borders, #9B4B97 for secondary text, #3BAC20 as an accent and #691665 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #B77FE4 and #E47FAC stays calm, while #7FE484 is the loudest partner.

What is #e47fdf in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 44%, 2%, 11%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #e47fdf 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 #E47FBA; nudged cooler, #C57DE6.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #e47fdf?

The fuchsia family — its 500 step is #d946ef, ΔE2000 11.6 away. That is a visible difference, so define #e47fdf as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #e47fdf in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#e47fdf] or text-[#e47fdf], 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 #e47fdf with 50% opacity?

rgba(228, 127, 223, 0.5), or #e47fdf80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #F2BFEF; over black, #724070.

Is #e47fdf a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CC66CC, ΔE2000 7.3 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #e47fdf 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 #e47fdf?
