FF6F3C

FF6F3C is a hexadecimal color code used in digital design to specify a particular shade of orange. In the sRGB color space it corresponds to RGB (255, 111, 60). In CSS and HTML, it is written as #FF6F3C and can be used wherever color values are accepted, such as backgrounds, borders, and text.

Appearance and color space characteristics: This value yields a bright, warm orange with relatively high saturation. In HSV/HSB terms the hue is about 16°, saturation around 0.76, and value 1.0. In HSL it is approximately hue 16°, saturation about 1.0, lightness about 0.618. The result is a vivid color that can command attention in user interfaces and branding.

Usage: It is often used in design to convey energy, enthusiasm, or urgency. It pairs well with dark neutrals like charcoal or navy, and with blues or teals for contrast. It can serve as a call-to-action color on buttons or banners, or as an accent in branding palettes. Designers may adjust the exact shade by mixing with white for lighter variants or with black for deeper tones.

Accessibility considerations: Because FF6F3C is highly saturated, contrast with light backgrounds can be insufficient for body text. When used for foreground text or important UI elements, it should be tested against the target background to meet WCAG contrast requirements. When accessibility is a concern, pair with high-contrast backgrounds or use the color as an accent rather than the sole conveyer of information.

Related colors and variations: Small shifts in hex produce similar oranges, such as #FF7A3A (slightly lighter) or #FF5A2A (more saturated). In design systems, FF6F3C often appears alongside neutral grays, deep blues, and white to balance its brightness. It is part of the standard sRGB color space used across web and digital media.
