Color Lab

How #1EEFEC actually behaves in design work — read from its OKLCH lightness, chroma and hue, not just its raw numbers. Ten signals to help you decide where this color earns its place.

Warmth 16/100

Cool

Reads cool and recessive — calming, technical, good for trust-led UI.

Softness 62/100

High

Middle-weight — neither delicate nor heavy.

Depth 14/100

Very low

Airy and open — recedes, leaves the composition light.

Naturalness 15/100

Very low

Reads engineered rather than organic — synthetic, digital.

Vintage feel 24/100

Low

Clean and current — no dusty, aged cast.

Luxury 20/100

Very low

Playful and accessible rather than exclusive.

Brand distinctiveness 56/100

Moderate

Recognisable but shares space with nearby hues.

UI accent fit 15/100

Very low

Weak as an action color — too pale, too dark or too muted to signal.

Surface fit 43/100

Moderate

Usable as a tinted surface in measured doses.

Print safety 64/100

High

Prints close, with a slight loss of vibrancy.
