Pantone TCX 11-0103 - Egret
Pantone TCX 11-0103 (Egret) is a Textile Cotton eXtended color with a HEX approximation of #F4ECD8, RGB 244, 236, 216, and CMYK 0/3/11/4. It is a white tone typically used in fabric bases, uniforms, bridal textiles, and clean-lined upholstery. Its closest Pantone Solid Coated match is Cloud Dancer 11-4201 TCX (Delta E 6.19), and its closest TCX neighbor is 11-4201 (Cloud Dancer).
About TCX 11-0103
TCX (Textile Cotton eXtended) is Pantone's color system for apparel, textiles, and home furnishings. Every TCX code follows the format XX-YYYY: the first two digits encode lightness (11 is very light, 19 is very dark) and the four digits encode hue and chroma. TCX colors are printed on cotton fabric swatches, making them the reference standard for textile production - the same substrate that the finished product will use.
Like every TCX code, 11-0103 is defined by a physical cotton swatch in Pantone's FHI Color Guide, not by a digital value. The HEX approximation #F4ECD8 is the most commonly-published translation, but physical TCX swatches are the only authoritative source. The full TCX library contains more than 2,300 colors; our reference covers 50 benchmark codes that include all 27 Color of the Year picks plus 21 additional FHI benchmarks.
Closest Pantone Solid Coated match
The closest Pantone Solid Coated color to TCX 11-0103 is Cloud Dancer 11-4201 TCX (#F0EEE9), with a perceptual difference of Delta E 2000 = 6.19. A Delta E in this range is typical between the print and textile gamuts - the two systems use different pigments on different substrates.
Closest TCX neighbors
These TCX codes are perceptually closest to 11-0103, sorted by Delta E 2000. Codes within the same family typically differ by Delta E 2-8 - siblings rather than duplicates.
Where TCX 11-0103 is used
Near-white TCX tones include brilliant whites, soft creams, and gentle off-whites used as fabric bases and neutrals in textile design. TCX 11-0103 is typically specified in fabric bases, uniforms, bridal textiles, and clean-lined upholstery. Its white tone makes it appropriate wherever a neutral, classic, or foundational palette is wanted. Before specifying TCX 11-0103 for a production run, verify against a physical TCX color swatch under the actual lighting conditions and fabric weave that will be used - the same code looks meaningfully different across substrates and finishes.
Frequently asked questions
What is TCX 11-0103 in HEX?
Pantone TCX 11-0103 (Egret) has a HEX approximation of #F4ECD8. This is a widely-published digital approximation - Pantone does not publish official hex values for TCX codes, since TCX is a physical fabric standard. Different published sources disagree by 2-5% for the same code. #F4ECD8 is close to every commonly-cited reference.
What is the closest Pantone Solid Coated match to TCX 11-0103?
The closest Pantone Solid Coated color to TCX 11-0103 is Cloud Dancer 11-4201 TCX (#F0EEE9), with a perceptual difference of Delta E 2000 = 6.19. A Delta E in this range is normal for a print-to-textile translation - the print gamut and textile gamut are different. Verify with physical samples before production.
Where is TCX 11-0103 commonly used?
TCX 11-0103 (Egret) is typically used in fabric bases, uniforms, bridal textiles, and clean-lined upholstery. Its white tone makes it appropriate wherever a neutral, classic, or foundational palette is wanted.
What NCS/RAL/etc. codes is TCX 11-0103 close to?
TCX and NCS and RAL are different systems that do not cross-reference officially. If you need TCX 11-0103 translated to one of those systems, use our <a href="/pantone-to-ncs/" class="text-accent hover:underline">Pantone to NCS converter</a> or <a href="/pantone-to-ral/" class="text-accent hover:underline">Pantone to RAL converter</a> with the Pantone Solid Coated equivalent (Cloud Dancer 11-4201 TCX) as the starting point. Remember that all cross-system matches are approximations, not production specifications.
Is TCX 11-0103 accurate enough for production use?
No. TCX codes on this site are digital approximations of the physical Pantone TCX standard, for design reference and browsing. For any production use - apparel manufacturing, upholstery, uniform sourcing - order the physical TCX swatch from Pantone (via the FHI Color Guide or Pantone Connect) and verify the color under the actual lighting conditions where the finished product will be seen. This is the only reliable approach.
