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 #edd2f2

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 #581D63
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #C773D7

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 high lightness makes it recede — a surface colour rather than a statement.

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 #edd2f2 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.

#edd2f2, answered

What color is #edd2f2?

#edd2f2 is a pale vivid magenta / pink, closest to Thistle (ΔE2000 5.2). It sits at 291° on the hue wheel with 55% saturation and 89% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #edd2f2?

rgb(237, 210, 242) — 237 red, 210 green and 242 blue out of 255, or 92.9% / 82.4% / 94.9% by channel.

What is #edd2f2 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(291, 55%, 89%) and hsv(291, 13%, 95%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #edd2f2 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.7051 and perceived brightness is 87%, so black text on it reaches 15.10:1.

Should I use black or white text on #edd2f2?

Black. It scores 15.10:1 against #edd2f2, versus 1.39:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #edd2f2 accessible on a white background?

#edd2f2 on white scores 1.39:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #B443C9 to reach 4.5:1, or #8B2D9D for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #edd2f2?

#D7F2D2 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #E7F2D2 and #D2F2DD, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #edd2f2?

For interface work: #F9F4FA as the surface, #E6C0ED for borders, #8E4B9B for secondary text, #5BA22A as an accent and #581D63 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #DDD2F2 and #F2D2E7 stays calm, while #D7F2D2 is the loudest partner.

What is #edd2f2 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(2%, 13%, 0%, 5%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #edd2f2 warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 55 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #F2D2EB; nudged cooler, #E1D1F3.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #edd2f2?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 30.3 away. That is a visible difference, so define #edd2f2 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #edd2f2 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#edd2f2] or text-[#edd2f2], 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 #edd2f2 with 50% opacity?

rgba(237, 210, 242, 0.5), or #edd2f280 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #F6E9F9; over black, #776979.

Is #edd2f2 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FFCCFF, ΔE2000 6.4 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #edd2f2 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 #edd2f2?
