Rose Color Hex Code

The Rose color hex code is #FF0080. Those six digits are three pairs, FF for red, 00 for green and 80 for blue, which is the same triplet a browser reads from the CSS value below.

Rose Color RGB Code

The Rose RGB code is rgb(255, 0, 128). Red carries the most light at 255 of 255, which is what puts this color where it sits on the wheel.

Rose Color HSV Code

The Rose HSV code is 330°, 100%, 100%. Read it as a hue of 330 degrees, 100% saturation and 100% value, which is the form most color pickers use because moving one number changes one thing.

Rose Color CIELChuv Code

The Rose CIELCHuv code is 54.89, 142.59, 355.20°. Unlike hex or RGB this one is perceptual: lightness 55 means mid-toned to the eye rather than to the screen, and chroma 143 is how far it sits from grey.

Palettes

What are Rose Color Palette Codes?

Each of these is a hue rotation from #FF0080. They are generated, not curated, so they are exact.

Complementary

Half a turn away is #00FF7F, a very light, vivid spring green. This is the widest separation the wheel offers, and the reason complementary pairs are the default for anything that must stand out. Both are saturated, so give the complement much less area than the base or the two will fight.

Analogous

Either side sit #FF00FF and #FF0000, 30 degrees out. Low tension by construction: useful when you need several related tones that still feel like one choice.

Triadic

#80FF00 and #0080FF complete an even 120 degree split. Three fully independent hues, so one has to lead: keep this base dominant and let the other two appear in small quantities.

Split-complementary

Instead of the direct complement, this takes the two hues either side of it: #01FF00 and #00FFFF. Almost the same contrast, without the edge shimmer a true complementary pair produces at high saturation.

Tetradic

Two complementary pairs forming a rectangle: this base with #00FF7F, and #FFFF00 with #0001FF. The richest of the five and the hardest to balance, so treat this base as the lead and hold the other three well back.

Accessibility

Contrast checker: is Rose accessible?

Measured against white and against black, with a separate verdict for each element type. Small text, large text and UI components have different thresholds, so one pass or fail for the whole color would be wrong roughly a third of the time.

Against white Rose reaches 3.77:1, enough for large text and UI borders, but short of the 4.5:1 that body copy needs. Darken it for anything set small. Text placed on it should be black, which gives 5.56:1. It is a highly saturated color, so it will dominate anything it sits beside. Give it space rather than surrounding it with other strong colors.

Color vision

How Rose looks with color blindness

Around 300 million people see color differently from the way it is specified. Each card shows the actual color beside how it appears, and how common that form of vision is.

Protanopia

About 1% of men
actual

#C6C571

Rose changes substantially here. ΔE 106.1

No working red cones. Reds darken sharply and drift toward the same muddy olive as green.

Deuteranopia

About 1% of men
actual

#CFDA6C

Rose changes substantially here. ΔE 118.0

No working green cones. With the milder deuteranomaly at nearer 6% of men, this is by far the most common form, and the one worth designing around.

Tritanopia

About 1 in 10,000
actual

#F9625F

Rose changes substantially here. ΔE 39.5

No working blue cones. Blues shift toward green and yellows toward pink. Rare, and unlike the others it is not sex-linked, so it affects men and women equally.

Achromatopsia

About 1 in 30,000
actual

#838383

Rose changes substantially here. ΔE 84.6

No color vision at all. Also a fair proxy for how the color survives a greyscale print or a failing screen.

To a deuteranope, the most common form, Rose reads as #CFDA6C. That is a shift of ΔE 118.0, so it is a different color to roughly one man in sixteen. The widest shift is under deuteranopia, at ΔE 118.0. The rule this leads to needs no simulator: never let color be the only thing carrying a message. Add a label, an icon, or a clear difference in lightness, and the problem disappears for everyone.
