About this color

Pink in CSS and design

Pink is a very light, vivid color from the pink family. Pink is one of the extended color keywords, which CSS adopted from the X11 color names used on Unix workstations.

Use it in CSS by name or by any of its codes; these all give the same color:

color: pink;
color: #FFC0CB;
color: rgb(255 192 203);
color: hsl(350 100% 88%);

For text on pink, black reads best. Check other combinations with the contrast checker, or browse all CSS color names.
