Contrast and accessibility
On pink-200, black text has a contrast ratio of 15.13:1 and passes AAA at any text size; white text reaches 1.38:1.
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.

Color harmonies
Rotating the hue in OKLCH while keeping lightness and chroma, pink-200's complementary color is #BAEBD2 (close to paleturquoise), its analogous colors are #ECD2FB and #FFCED2, and its triadic partners are #E4E0B2 and #B2E7FC. For text on top, black gives the higher contrast.
| Harmony | Rotation | Color |
|---|---|---|
| Complementary | +180° | #baebd2 |
| Analogous | −30°, +30° | #ecd2fb#ffced2 |
| Triadic | +120°, +240° | #e4e0b2#b2e7fc |
| Split-complementary | +150°, +210° | #cee7be#afebe9 |
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 pink-200 sits on the boundary: its hue of 326° on the HSL wheel is a magenta, which reads warm next to blues and cool next to reds and oranges.
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.
