ColorPairLabTan hex and RGB values
The CSS keyword tan gives you #D2B48C, or rgb(210, 180, 140).
Tan can give a card or data summary a warm neutral background. Measure pale annotations separately from the main dark text.
Compare black and white text
| Text / background | Ratio | AA normal | AA large | AAA normal | AAA large |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| #000000 / #D2B48C | 10.65:1 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass |
| #FFFFFF / #D2B48C | 1.97:1 | Fail | Fail | Fail | Fail |
Black text has the higher contrast on tan: 10.65:1. The table compares both options against all four text thresholds, using the unrounded values for pass or fail.
Try tan in a layout
The CSS sample below uses black text on #D2B48C. Preview a 16 px label and a 24 px heading to compare normal and large text. Swap the colors to try tan as the text color; the ratio stays the same.
.sample {
background: #D2B48C;
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.
