35 Shades of Clear Color

Clear tones are near-transparent. They are the subtle tints you find in glass, ice, and clean water. Barely-there colors that barely register, and that is the whole feature.Explore the full range from virtually colorless to faintly tinted blue-grey and green-grey. Clear shades work as background tints exactly because they do not compete with anything.

  1. #247afd

    clear blue color 247afd

    Clear Blue Color

    Clear Blue is a bright azure that comes from Randall Munroe’s crowdsourced XKCD Color Survey, where thousands of people named this exact vivid blue. At #247afd it is the pure, cloudless blue of a perfect afternoon. It is a digital-native color rather than a paint-can one.

  2. #ce261c

    clear red color ce261c

    Clear Red Color

    Clear Red color is a clean scarlet with orange warmth, #ce261c, about like a ripe tomato’s skin. The word clear fits, since there’s no grey muddying it. It’s a cousin of Hestia Red with the fire turned down.

  3. #12732b

    clear green color 12732b

    Clear Green Color

    Bottle glass and traffic lights both use this kind of clean, saturated green. The Clear Green color hex code #12732b is a deep, pure green with almost no gray, dark enough for text on white and strong enough to signal “go.”

  4. #f1f1e6

    clear yellow color f1f1e6

    Clear Yellow Color

    Clear Yellow is barely yellow at all; #f1f1e6 is an off-white with a faint cream tint, like printer paper under a warm bulb. Anyone expecting visible yellow will be disappointed, since the blue channel sits only 11 points below the others.
