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 #eed7d2

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
  • 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 #5D2D23
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #CA8172

Meaning and mood

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

urgentappetisingboldphysical

Red arrives before the rest of the page does. It raises attention and appetite, which is why it runs food, sport and clearance pricing.

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 universal error colour. Use it as a brand accent and users may read a warning that is not there.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #eed7d2 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.

#eed7d2, answered

What color is #eed7d2?

#eed7d2 is a pale vivid red, closest to Misty Rose (ΔE2000 3.6). It sits at 11° on the hue wheel with 45% saturation and 88% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #eed7d2?

rgb(238, 215, 210) — 238 red, 215 green and 210 blue out of 255, or 93.3% / 84.3% / 82.4% by channel.

What is #eed7d2 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(11, 45%, 88%) and hsv(11, 12%, 93%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #eed7d2 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.7143 and perceived brightness is 87%, so black text on it reaches 15.29:1.

Should I use black or white text on #eed7d2?

Black. It scores 15.29:1 against #eed7d2, versus 1.37:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #eed7d2 accessible on a white background?

#eed7d2 on white scores 1.37:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #B85A46 to reach 4.5:1, or #8C4435 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #eed7d2?

#D2E9EE sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #D2EEE5 and #D2DBEE, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #eed7d2?

For interface work: #FAF5F4 as the surface, #E9CAC4 for borders, #9B594B for secondary text, #359791 as an accent and #5D2D23 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #EED2DB and #EEE5D2 stays calm, while #D2E9EE is the loudest partner.

What is #eed7d2 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 10%, 12%, 7%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #eed7d2 warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 11 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #EEDDD2; nudged cooler, #EFD1D7.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #eed7d2?

The amber family — its 500 step is #f59e0b, ΔE2000 28.3 away. That is a visible difference, so define #eed7d2 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #eed7d2 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#eed7d2] or text-[#eed7d2], 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 #eed7d2 with 50% opacity?

rgba(238, 215, 210, 0.5), or #eed7d280 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #F7EBE9; over black, #776C69.

Is #eed7d2 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FFCCCC, ΔE2000 8.8 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #eed7d2 mean?

As a red, it reads urgent, appetising, bold. Red arrives before the rest of the page does. It raises attention and appetite, which is why it runs food, sport and clearance pricing. At this chroma the effect is amplified — it will dominate whatever sits beside it.

What gradient works with #eed7d2?
