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 #facba7

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 #793807
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #EB6E0D

Meaning and mood

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

friendlyenergeticaffordablesocial

Orange is red with the aggression taken out — approachable, active, and strongly associated with buying and doing.

At this chroma the association is amplified — it will dominate anything placed beside it, so give it space and use it sparingly. The lightness keeps it airy and approachable.

Worth knowing

Hard to make feel premium, and it collides with the "caution" band in status systems.

#facba7, answered

What color is #facba7?

#facba7 is a light electric orange, closest to Peach Puff (ΔE2000 4.1). It sits at 26° on the hue wheel with 89% saturation and 82% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #facba7?

rgb(250, 203, 167) — 250 red, 203 green and 167 blue out of 255, or 98% / 79.6% / 65.5% by channel.

What is #facba7 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(26, 89%, 82%) and hsv(26, 33%, 98%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #facba7 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.6583 and perceived brightness is 84%, so black text on it reaches 14.17:1.

Should I use black or white text on #facba7?

Black. It scores 14.17:1 against #facba7, versus 1.48:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #facba7 accessible on a white background?

#facba7 on white scores 1.48:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #BB570B to reach 4.5:1, or #904308 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #facba7?

#A7D6FA sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #A7FAF4 and #A7ADFA, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #facba7?

For interface work: #FAF7F4 as the surface, #EDD3C0 for borders, #9B6D4B for secondary text, #07A2C5 as an accent and #793807 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #FAA7AD and #FAF4A7 stays calm, while #A7D6FA is the loudest partner.

What is #facba7 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 19%, 33%, 2%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — a color this saturated sits outside most CMYK gamuts and will print duller than it looks here.

Is #facba7 warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 2 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #FBD9BF; nudged cooler, #FBACA6.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #facba7?

The amber family — its 500 step is #f59e0b, ΔE2000 18.4 away. That is a visible difference, so define #facba7 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #facba7 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#facba7] or text-[#facba7], 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 #facba7 with 50% opacity?

rgba(250, 203, 167, 0.5), or #facba780 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #FDE5D3; over black, #7D6654.

Is #facba7 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FFCC99, ΔE2000 4.1 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #facba7 mean?

As a orange, it reads friendly, energetic, affordable. Orange is red with the aggression taken out — approachable, active, and strongly associated with buying and doing. At this chroma the effect is amplified — it will dominate whatever sits beside it.

What gradient works with #facba7?

The safest is same-hue elevation: linear-gradient(135deg, #FDEDE1, #facba7 45%, #793807). For more colour, a short hue run to #E4F88A keeps it rich without turning muddy.
