#FFC9C9 Hex Color

Black text reads clearly on #ffc9c9, which provides about a 14.5:1 contrast ratio and exceeds the WCAG AA 4.5:1 requirement for normal body text, so designers can use this pale red for readable panels, cards, and page backgrounds.

Pair #ffc9c9 with charcoal, navy, or muted sage for contrast that feels more considered than bright white; charcoal supports readable text, while navy adds structure and sage brings an earthy counterpoint to the shade’s warm, youthful red.
