#FFB5B0 (#ffb5b0) sits in the red family at about 4° hue, 100% saturation, and 85% lightness. Contrast is 1.68:1 on white and 12.49:1 on black, so near-black labels read more clearly on the swatch itself. Nearest Tailwind token: red-300 (approximation unless the hex is an official scale stop).

Sensible jobs for this swatch

subtle surfaces, chips, and table stripes
text or icons on charcoal / dark mode

Do not use #ffb5b0 as small body text on white — 1.68:1 misses WCAG AA (4.5:1). Pair it with a darker shade from the scale below, or check pairs in the contrast checker.

Family context: Energy, urgency, passion, and excitement. Often used for CTAs, alerts, and brands that want attention. Common uses still include buttons, charts, and accents in the Red range — always verify the pair for this exact hex in the contrast checker.
