Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?

HEX is a 6-character code (#FF5733). RGB uses three numbers (255, 87, 51) for red, green, blue. HSL uses hue (angle on color wheel), saturation (intensity), and lightness (brightness). They all describe the same color in different ways.

What color format should I use for web design?

HEX is most common for CSS. RGB is useful when you need transparency (RGBA). HSL is great when you want to create color variations (lighter/darker shades) from a base color.
