Ruby Color Introduction
Definition
Ruby (HEX #E0115F) has the RGB value rgb(224, 17, 95), the HSL value hsl(337°, 86%, 47%) and the CMYK print value cmyk(0%, 92%, 58%, 12%). In terms of color schemes, the complement of Ruby is #11E092, and placing the two side by side produces a striking, eye-catching contrast; paired with the analogous colors #E011C7 and #E02A11 that sit next to it on the color wheel, it transitions naturally and harmoniously; in a split-complementary scheme (#11E02A, #11C7E0) it keeps its contrast tension without losing layering; and a monochromatic scheme built on Ruby uses gradients of lightness and saturation to create a unified design with a strong sense of depth. Under the WCAG accessibility standard, Ruby has a contrast ratio of 4.76:1 against white and 4.41:1 against black; paired with a white background it reaches AA, giving body text good readability.
Color Characteristics
Pink evokes cherry blossoms, petals and cream; its soft visual effect makes it almost irreplaceable in beauty, weddings and baby products. Specifically, Ruby has a lightness of 47% and a saturation of 86%, striking and generous as a background or primary color, offering good readability with either light or dark text; moreover, its saturation is extremely high and its visual tension is strong, so it works best used sparingly as a focal accent. In a word: A precious bloodline.
Color Psychology
Pink can evoke tenderness, gentleness and being cared for, with a marked comforting effect; psychologically it symbolizes romance, sweetness and goodwill. For this reason Ruby tends to leave a first impression of being gentle and sweet in the viewer’s mind, and this emotional tone also defines the role it plays in design.
Best Uses
Pink suits beauty and fashion, wedding planning, baby products and female-oriented communities where gentleness and romance are emphasized. In real projects, Ruby is also often used as a dark background or heading text color; in “Pink”-themed designs, the adjacent colors or lightness gradients built around it quickly establish a cohesive, clearly layered color scheme.
