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 #ff0fac

Derived from its contrast, chroma and lightness — not from taste.

Works well for
  • Headings from 24px up on white
  • Text and icons on dark surfaces
  • Primary buttons and calls to action
  • Focus rings, active and selected states
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
  • Chart series and data categories
Use with care
  • Small text on white — under 4.5:1
  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • Pairing with a same-lightness hue — edges vibrate
Minimum size as text on white
24px / 18.66px bold
Safe as a fill behind white type
No — use #800053
Safe as a 1px border on white
Yes

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.

At this chroma the association is amplified — it will dominate anything placed beside it, so give it space and use it sparingly. The mid lightness keeps it versatile in both themes.

Worth knowing

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

#ff0fac, answered

What color is #ff0fac?

#ff0fac is a balanced electric magenta / pink, closest to Deep Pink (ΔE2000 4.7). It sits at 321° on the hue wheel with 100% saturation and 53% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #ff0fac?

rgb(255, 15, 172) — 255 red, 15 green and 172 blue out of 255, or 100% / 5.9% / 67.5% by channel.

What is #ff0fac in HSL and HSV?

hsl(321, 100%, 53%) and hsv(321, 94%, 100%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #ff0fac a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.2458 and perceived brightness is 59%, so black text on it reaches 5.92:1.

Should I use black or white text on #ff0fac?

Black. It scores 5.92:1 against #ff0fac, versus 3.55:1 for white — AA at any size.

Is #ff0fac accessible on a white background?

#ff0fac on white scores 3.55:1, which only clears AA for large text — 18.66px bold or 24px regular and up. Darken it to #E00092 to reach 4.5:1, or #A8006E for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #ff0fac?

#0FFF62 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #34FF0F and #0FFFDA, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #ff0fac?

For interface work: #FAF4F8 as the surface, #EDC0DD for borders, #9B4B7F for secondary text, #00CC14 as an accent and #800053 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #DA0FFF and #FF0F34 stays calm, while #0FFF62 is the loudest partner.

What is #ff0fac in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(0%, 94%, 33%, 0%). 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 #ff0fac warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 38 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #FF0F54; nudged cooler, #FA0FFF.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #ff0fac?

The pink family — its 500 step is #ec4899, ΔE2000 5.3 away. That is a visible difference, so define #ff0fac as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #ff0fac in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#ff0fac] or text-[#ff0fac], 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 #ff0fac with 50% opacity?

rgba(255, 15, 172, 0.5), or #ff0fac80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #FF87D6; over black, #800856.

Is #ff0fac a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #FF0099, ΔE2000 3.4 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #ff0fac 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 #ff0fac?

The safest is same-hue elevation: linear-gradient(135deg, #FF4CC1, #ff0fac 45%, #800053). For more colour, a short hue run to #EF1700 keeps it rich without turning muddy.
