Tailwind CSS v4 default palette
Tailwind rose-200: #FFCCD3
In Tailwind CSS v4, rose-200 is defined as --color-rose-200: oklch(89.2% 0.058 10.001), which is #FFCCD3 in hex and rgb(255, 204, 211): a very light, muted pink. In Tailwind v3, rose-200 was #FECDD3.
In OKLCH, rose-200 has a lightness of 89.2%, chroma 0.058 and hue 10.0°.
This OKLCH value lies outside sRGB. The hex #FFCCD3 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 0.9688 0.8088 0.8273).
In v3, rose-200 was #FECDD3. The v4 value is ΔE OK 0.2 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-200, black text has a contrast ratio of 14.82:1 and passes AAA at any text size; white text reaches 1.41:1.
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-200 | 14.82:1 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | 83.7 |
| White text on rose-200 | 1.41:1 | Fail | Fail | Fail | Fail | −22.8 |
| Rose-200 text on white | 1.41:1 | Fail | Fail | Fail | Fail | 20.0 |
| Rose-200 text on black | 14.82:1 | Pass | Pass | Pass | Pass | −83.4 |
Tints and shades
Each step mixes var(--color-rose-200) with white (tints) or black (shades) in gamma-encoded sRGB, the same result as color-mix(in srgb, var(--color-rose-200), white 25%) in CSS.

Color harmonies
Rotating the hue in OKLCH while keeping lightness and chroma, rose-200's complementary color is #B0E8E4 (close to paleturquoise), its analogous colors are #F7CDE8 and #FECFBF, and its triadic partners are #CFE4BC and #BFDFFF. For text on top, black gives the higher contrast.
| Harmony | Rotation | Color |
|---|---|---|
| Complementary | +180° | #b0e8e4 |
| Analogous | −30°, +30° | #f7cde8#fecfbf |
| Triadic | +120°, +240° | #cfe4bc#bfdfff |
| Split-complementary | +150°, +210° | #bbe8ce#b1e5f6 |
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-200 is a warm color: its hue is 352° 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 rose-200?
- In Tailwind CSS v4, rose-200 is oklch(89.2% 0.058 10.001), which converts to #FFCCD3 (rgb(255, 204, 211)) in sRGB after gamut mapping, because the OKLCH value is outside sRGB. In Tailwind v3 the same name was #FECDD3.
- What is the difference between rose-200 in Tailwind v3 and v4?
- v3 used the hex #FECDD3; v4 redefined the palette in OKLCH as oklch(89.2% 0.058 10.001). In v3, rose-200 was #FECDD3. The v4 value is ΔE OK 0.2 away, below the point where most people can tell them apart.
- How do I use rose-200 in plain CSS?
- Tailwind v4 defines every palette color as a theme variable, so in CSS you write var(--color-rose-200). By default Tailwind only emits the variables your project uses; @theme static emits all of them.
- Can you use white text on rose-200?
- White text on rose-200 has a contrast ratio of 1.41:1, which fails AA even for large text under WCAG 2.2. Black text reaches 14.82:1 and passes both AA and AAA. In APCA terms that is Lc −22.8 for white and Lc 83.7 for black.
- Which CSS named color is closest to rose-200?
- The closest is pink (#FFC0CB) at ΔE OK 2.9, followed by lightpink and mistyrose.
