Is #f788ba a warm or cool pink?
It leans warm, thanks to a noticeable red undertone in its base. That warmth makes it feel friendlier and more energetic than cooler, blue-based pinks like magenta.
What text color works on a #f788ba background?
Black text reads most clearly, with roughly 9.2:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA requirements. White text lacks enough contrast for body copy and should be limited to large decorative type.
Is #f788ba readable on white or black?
#f788ba has a 2.28:1 contrast ratio on white and 9.18:1 on black. WCAG asks for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, so on white it is too faint for text and on black it works for body text. Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
