Tailwind orange-200: #FFD6A7
In Tailwind CSS v4, orange-200 is defined as --color-orange-200: oklch(90.1% 0.076 70.697), which is #FFD6A7 in hex and rgb(255, 214, 167): a pale, muted beige. In Tailwind v3, orange-200 was #FED7AA.
In OKLCH, orange-200 has a lightness of 90.1%, chroma 0.076 and hue 70.7°.
This OKLCH value lies outside sRGB. The hex #FFD6A7 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 0.9746 0.8471 0.6801).
In v3, orange-200 was #FED7AA. The v4 value is ΔE OK 0.3 away, below the point where most people can tell them apart.

Contrast and accessibility
On orange-200, black text has a contrast ratio of 15.42:1 and passes AAA at any text size; white text reaches 1.36:1.
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 orange-200 | 15.42:1 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | 86.0 |
| White text on orange-200 | 1.36:1 | Fail | Fail | Fail | Fail | −20.2 |
| Orange-200 text on white | 1.36:1 | Fail | Fail | Fail | Fail | 17.6 |
| Orange-200 text on black | 15.42:1 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | −85.9 |
Tints and shades
Each step mixes var(--color-orange-200) with white (tints) or black (shades) in gamma-encoded sRGB, the same result as color-mix(in srgb, var(--color-orange-200), white 25%) in CSS.

Color harmonies
Rotating the hue in OKLCH while keeping lightness and chroma, orange-200's complementary color is #BBE3FF (close to powderblue), its analogous colors are #FFCEB8 and #E9E0A6, and its triadic partners are #A2EFEA and #EED1FF. For text on top, black gives the higher contrast.
| Harmony | Rotation | Color |
|---|---|---|
| Complementary | +180° | #bbe3ff |
| Analogous | −30°, +30° | #ffceb8#e9e0a6 |
| Triadic | +120°, +240° | #a2efea#eed1ff |
| Split-complementary | +150°, +210° | #a5ebff#d5daff |
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 orange-200 is a warm color: its hue is 32° on the HSL wheel, in the red, orange and yellow range (0° to about 70°, plus reds above 330°) that is conventionally called warm.

- What is the hex code for Tailwind orange-200?
- In Tailwind CSS v4, orange-200 is oklch(90.1% 0.076 70.697), which converts to #FFD6A7 (rgb(255, 214, 167)) in sRGB after gamut mapping, because the OKLCH value is outside sRGB. In Tailwind v3 the same name was #FED7AA.
- What is the difference between orange-200 in Tailwind v3 and v4?
- v3 used the hex #FED7AA; v4 redefined the palette in OKLCH as oklch(90.1% 0.076 70.697). In v3, orange-200 was #FED7AA. The v4 value is ΔE OK 0.3 away, below the point where most people can tell them apart.
- How do I use orange-200 in plain CSS?
- Tailwind v4 defines every palette color as a theme variable, so in CSS you write var(--color-orange-200). By default Tailwind only emits the variables your project uses; @theme static emits all of them.
- Can you use white text on orange-200?
- White text on orange-200 has a contrast ratio of 1.36:1, which fails AA even for large text under WCAG 2.2. Black text reaches 15.42:1 and passes both AA and AAA. In APCA terms that is Lc −20.2 for white and Lc 86.0 for black.
- Which CSS named color is closest to orange-200?
- The closest is navajowhite (#FFDEAD) at ΔE OK 1.8, followed by peachpuff and wheat.
