Perceptual color difference
60.273 ΔE00
A lower value means a smaller color difference under this method. ΔE00 is not a similarity percentage or a readability score. The visible difference also depends on the display, surrounding colors and viewing conditions.
CIEDE2000 (ΔE00): opaque sRGB → CIE Lab D50, Bradford adaptation from D65, CIE 1931 2° observer; kL = kC = kH = 1.
As text and background
Contrast: 1.434:1 | Normal text: Fail | Large text: Fail
Color 1 text on color 2.
Color 2 text on color 1.
What a comparison can tell you
Different HEX values do not tell you whether a pair is readable. A visually lively palette can still fail when the same colors are used as small text and its background. WCAG contrast is symmetric, while APCA depends on which color is the foreground.
Names shown here are nearest reference names. HSL hue difference is not a perceptual color-difference measurement. For print matching, use a color-managed workflow and a physical proof.
