Tailwind CSS v4 default palette
Tailwind rose-100: #FFE4E6
In Tailwind CSS v4, rose-100 is defined as --color-rose-100: oklch(94.1% 0.03 12.58), which is #FFE4E6 in hex and rgb(255, 228, 230): an off-white with a pink tint. In Tailwind v3, rose-100 was #FFE4E6.
In OKLCH, rose-100 has a lightness of 94.1%, chroma 0.030 and hue 12.6°.
This OKLCH value lies outside sRGB. The hex #FFE4E6 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 0.9822 0.8972 0.9026).
In v3, rose-100 was #FFE4E6. The v4 value is ΔE OK 0.0 away, below the point where most people can tell them apart.
Tailwind rose is a warm pink-red between pink and red, often used as a softer alternative to red for destructive actions.

Contrast and accessibility
On rose-100, black text has a contrast ratio of 17.49:1 and passes AAA at any text size; white text reaches 1.20:1.
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 rose-100 | 17.49:1 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | 93.8 |
| White text on rose-100 | 1.20:1 | Fail | Fail | Fail | Fail | −11.4 |
| Rose-100 text on white | 1.20:1 | Fail | Fail | Fail | Fail | 9.8 |
| Rose-100 text on black | 17.49:1 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | −94.4 |
Tints and shades
Each step mixes var(--color-rose-100) with white (tints) or black (shades) in gamma-encoded sRGB, the same result as color-mix(in srgb, var(--color-rose-100), white 25%) in CSS.

Color harmonies
Rotating the hue in OKLCH while keeping lightness and chroma, rose-100's complementary color is #D6F2F1 (close to lightcyan), its analogous colors are #FBE4F1 and #FEE6DC, and its triadic partners are #E4F0DC and #DEEDFF. For text on top, black gives the higher contrast.
| Harmony | Rotation | Color |
|---|---|---|
| Complementary | +180° | #d6f2f1 |
| Analogous | −30°, +30° | #fbe4f1#fee6dc |
| Triadic | +120°, +240° | #e4f0dc#deedff |
| Split-complementary | +150°, +210° | #dbf2e6#d7f1fa |
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 rose-100 is a warm color: its hue is 356° on the HSL wheel, in the red, orange and yellow range (0° to about 70°, plus reds above 330°) that is conventionally called warm.
Nearest named and Tailwind colors
Distance is ΔE OK, the Euclidean distance in OKLab multiplied by 100. Values under about 2 are hard to tell apart side by side.

- What is the hex code for Tailwind rose-100?
- In Tailwind CSS v4, rose-100 is oklch(94.1% 0.03 12.58), which converts to #FFE4E6 (rgb(255, 228, 230)) in sRGB after gamut mapping, because the OKLCH value is outside sRGB. In Tailwind v3 the same name was #FFE4E6.
- What is the difference between rose-100 in Tailwind v3 and v4?
- v3 used the hex #FFE4E6; v4 redefined the palette in OKLCH as oklch(94.1% 0.03 12.58). In v3, rose-100 was #FFE4E6. The v4 value is ΔE OK 0.0 away, below the point where most people can tell them apart.
- How do I use rose-100 in plain CSS?
- Tailwind v4 defines every palette color as a theme variable, so in CSS you write var(--color-rose-100). By default Tailwind only emits the variables your project uses; @theme static emits all of them.
- Can you use white text on rose-100?
- White text on rose-100 has a contrast ratio of 1.20:1, which fails AA even for large text under WCAG 2.2. Black text reaches 17.49:1 and passes both AA and AAA. In APCA terms that is Lc −11.4 for white and Lc 93.8 for black.
- Which CSS named color is closest to rose-100?
- The closest is mistyrose (#FFE4E1) at ΔE OK 0.7, followed by lavenderblush and linen.
