ColorPairLabPink hex and RGB values
The CSS keyword pink gives you #FFC0CB, or rgb(255, 192, 203).
Pink gives a callout a light, warm background. Start with dark text, and keep error messages recognizable through their wording as well as their color.
Compare black and white text
| Text / background | Ratio | AA normal | AA large | AAA normal | AAA large |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #000000 / #FFC0CB | 13.65:1 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass |
| #FFFFFF / #FFC0CB | 1.54:1 | Fail | Fail | Fail | Fail |
Black text has the higher contrast on pink: 13.65:1. The table compares both options against all four text thresholds, using the unrounded values for pass or fail.
Try pink in a layout
The CSS sample below uses black text on #FFC0CB. Preview a 16 px label and a 24 px heading to compare normal and large text. Swap the colors to try pink as the text color; the ratio stays the same.
.sample {
background: #FFC0CB;
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.
