Tailwind CSS v4 default palette
Tailwind fuchsia-200: #F6CFFF
In Tailwind CSS v4, fuchsia-200 is defined as --color-fuchsia-200: oklch(90.3% 0.076 319.62), which is #F6CFFF in hex and rgb(246, 207, 255): a pale, muted purple. In Tailwind v3, fuchsia-200 was #F5D0FE.
In OKLCH, fuchsia-200 has a lightness of 90.3%, chroma 0.076 and hue 319.6°.
This OKLCH value lies outside sRGB. The hex #F6CFFF is the sRGB fallback from the CSS Color 4 gamut mapping algorithm; on Display P3 screens browsers show a more saturated color, close to color(display-p3 0.9395 0.8189 0.988).
In v3, fuchsia-200 was #F5D0FE. The v4 value is ΔE OK 0.3 away, below the point where most people can tell them apart.
Tailwind fuchsia is a vivid magenta; several of its mid shades lie well outside sRGB and need gamut mapping on standard screens.

Contrast and accessibility
On fuchsia-200, black text has a contrast ratio of 15.28:1 and passes AAA at any text size; white text reaches 1.37:1.
WCAG 2.2 contrast ratios (success criteria 1.4.3 and 1.4.6: AA needs 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text, AAA needs 7:1 and 4.5:1). APCA Lc is the lightness contrast from the APCA-W3 0.0.98G model proposed for WCAG 3; a higher absolute value is more readable, and Lc 75 is its suggested minimum for body text.
| Pair | Ratio | AA | AA large | AAA | AAA large | APCA Lc |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Black text on fuchsia-200 | 15.28:1 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | 85.5 |
| White text on fuchsia-200 | 1.37:1 | Fail | Fail | Fail | Fail | −20.8 |
| Fuchsia-200 text on white | 1.37:1 | Fail | Fail | Fail | Fail | 18.2 |
| Fuchsia-200 text on black | 15.28:1 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | −85.3 |
Tints and shades
Each step mixes var(--color-fuchsia-200) with white (tints) or black (shades) in gamma-encoded sRGB, the same result as color-mix(in srgb, var(--color-fuchsia-200), white 25%) in CSS.

Color harmonies
Rotating the hue in OKLCH while keeping lightness and chroma, fuchsia-200's complementary color is #C5ECBC (close to palegoldenrod), its analogous colors are #DDD8FF and #FFCBE6, and its triadic partners are #FADAA6 and #A2EFF3. For text on top, black gives the higher contrast.
| Harmony | Rotation | Color |
|---|---|---|
| Complementary | +180° | #c5ecbc |
| Analogous | −30°, +30° | #ddd8ff#ffcbe6 |
| Triadic | +120°, +240° | #fadaa6#a2eff3 |
| Split-complementary | +150°, +210° | #e2e4a9#acf0d7 |
Computed in OKLCH: the hue is rotated by 180° (complementary), ±30° (analogous), ±120° (triadic) and 180° ±30° (split-complementary) while lightness and chroma stay fixed. Results that fall outside sRGB are brought back with the CSS Color 4 gamut mapping algorithm. Because this uses OKLCH, the values differ from tools that rotate hue in HSL, but every color keeps the same perceived lightness.
Warm or cool?
Tailwind fuchsia-200 is a cool color: its hue is 289° on the HSL wheel, in the green, blue and violet range that is conventionally called cool.
Nearest named and Tailwind colors

- What is the hex code for Tailwind fuchsia-200?
- In Tailwind CSS v4, fuchsia-200 is oklch(90.3% 0.076 319.62), which converts to #F6CFFF (rgb(246, 207, 255)) in sRGB after gamut mapping, because the OKLCH value is outside sRGB. In Tailwind v3 the same name was #F5D0FE.
- What is the difference between fuchsia-200 in Tailwind v3 and v4?
- v3 used the hex #F5D0FE; v4 redefined the palette in OKLCH as oklch(90.3% 0.076 319.62). In v3, fuchsia-200 was #F5D0FE. The v4 value is ΔE OK 0.3 away, below the point where most people can tell them apart.
- How do I use fuchsia-200 in plain CSS?
- Tailwind v4 defines every palette color as a theme variable, so in CSS you write var(--color-fuchsia-200). By default Tailwind only emits the variables your project uses; @theme static emits all of them.
- Can you use white text on fuchsia-200?
- White text on fuchsia-200 has a contrast ratio of 1.37:1, which fails AA even for large text under WCAG 2.2. Black text reaches 15.28:1 and passes both AA and AAA. In APCA terms that is Lc −20.8 for white and Lc 85.5 for black.
- Which CSS named color is closest to fuchsia-200?
- The closest is lavender (#E6E6FA) at ΔE OK 6.2, followed by pink and gainsboro.
