ColorPairLabLinen hex and RGB values
The CSS keyword linen gives you #FAF0E6, or rgb(250, 240, 230).
Linen is a warm off-white with a fixed CSS value. It offers a paper-like tone without adding texture to the background.
Compare black and white text
| Text / background | Ratio | AA normal | AA large | AAA normal | AAA large |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #000000 / #FAF0E6 | 18.67:1 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass |
| #FFFFFF / #FAF0E6 | 1.12:1 | Fail | Fail | Fail | Fail |
Black text has the higher contrast on linen: 18.67:1. The table compares both options against all four text thresholds, using the unrounded values for pass or fail.
Try linen in a layout
The CSS sample below uses black text on #FAF0E6. Preview a 16 px label and a 24 px heading to compare normal and large text. Swap the colors to try linen as the text color; the ratio stays the same.
.sample {
background: #FAF0E6;
color: #000000;
}Copy the exact color
Use the converter to copy HEX, RGB or HSL. If you edit in HSL, the final value is rounded to eight-bit sRGB so the preview and exported color agree. For text over an image, gradient or translucent layer, check the finished design separately.
