How to use #f1eaf2

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 #4B314F
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #AE85B4

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 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.

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #f1eaf2 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.

#f1eaf2, answered

What color is #f1eaf2?

#f1eaf2 is a pale soft magenta / pink, closest to Lavender Blush (ΔE2000 3.6). It sits at 293° on the hue wheel with 24% saturation and 93% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #f1eaf2?

rgb(241, 234, 242) — 241 red, 234 green and 242 blue out of 255, or 94.5% / 91.8% / 94.9% by channel.

What is #f1eaf2 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(293, 24%, 93%) and hsv(293, 3%, 95%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #f1eaf2 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.8396 and perceived brightness is 93%, so black text on it reaches 17.79:1.

Should I use black or white text on #f1eaf2?

Black. It scores 17.79:1 against #f1eaf2, versus 1.18:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #f1eaf2 accessible on a white background?

#f1eaf2 on white scores 1.18:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #97629E to reach 4.5:1, or #704975 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #f1eaf2?

#EBF2EA sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #EFF2EA and #EAF2ED, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #f1eaf2?

For interface work: #F9F6F9 as the surface, #DDCDE0 for borders, #87588E for secondary text, #608448 as an accent and #4B314F for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #EDEAF2 and #F2EAEF stays calm, while #EBF2EA is the loudest partner.

What is #f1eaf2 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 3%, 0%, 5%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #f1eaf2 warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 53 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #F2EAF0; nudged cooler, #EEEAF2.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #f1eaf2?

The neutral family — its 500 step is #737373, ΔE2000 34.9 away. That is a visible difference, so define #f1eaf2 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #f1eaf2 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#f1eaf2] or text-[#f1eaf2], 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 #f1eaf2 with 50% opacity?

rgba(241, 234, 242, 0.5), or #f1eaf280 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #F8F5F9; over black, #797579.

Is #f1eaf2 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FFFFFF, ΔE2000 6.8 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #f1eaf2 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 #f1eaf2?
