Hue family
Rose HEX colors.
Rose is the narrow OKLCH transition from magenta back toward red, spanning 335° to below 345°. The set includes deep berry values, clear rose colors, and pale pink-violet references.
Representative set
Curated rose HEX colors.
OKLCH hues from 335° to below 345°. Choose a color to compare conversions, contrast, palettes, related colors, and ready-to-copy CSS tokens.
Family definition
How Hue Codex classifies rose colors.
The Hue Codex rose family is the narrow chromatic OKLCH interval from 335° to below 345°. It captures the transition from magenta toward the wrapped red family across varied lightness and chroma levels.
Boundary with neighboring families
Magenta ends at 335°, and red begins at 345° before wrapping through 0°. The ten-degree rose interval is intentionally narrow so both adjacent families keep stable, explicit limits.
Name versus measurement
CSS has no Rose keyword. The CSS color Pink is #FFC0CB, but its OKLCH hue is 7.09° and Hue Codex assigns it to the wrapped red family rather than rose.
Dark, middle, and light reference points
These fixed examples mark the ordered set by OKLCH lightness. They are orientation points, not claims that a color is suitable for a particular text, interface, or brand role.
| Range position | Color reference | HEX | OKLCH L |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark end | Soft Very Dark Rose | #190010 |
14.3% |
| Middle reference | Clear Mid-light Rose | #C54AAD |
60.8% |
| Light end | Muted Very Light Rose | #FFE6F7 |
95.0% |
Practical workflow
Use rose references in three steps.
A family is a starting point for exploration. Make final decisions with the exact color value and the context where it will be used.
- Choose an exact HEX value. Open a reference above to review its measured formats, related colors, role guidance, and copy-ready CSS tokens.
- Check formats and contrast. Use the Color Converter, then verify the intended foreground and background in the Contrast Checker. A family label alone does not establish accessibility.
- Build and document the system. Create related candidates with the Palette Generator and review the reference-data methodology when you need the classification rules and limitations.
Common questions
Rose color family questions.
- Why does the rose family have a narrow hue range?
- It represents only the 335°–345° transition between magenta and wrapped red. The fixed ten-degree span prevents those neighboring families from overlapping.
- Is CSS Pink (#FFC0CB) a rose-family color?
- No. Its measured OKLCH hue is 7.09°, which falls inside the wrapped red interval.
