Understanding Color Formats

HEX (Hexadecimal)

Format: #RRGGBB or #RGB
Example: #FF5733 or #F73
Most commonly used in web design and CSS
Compact representation of RGB values

RGB (Red, Green, Blue)

Format: rgb(red, green, blue)
Values: 0-255 for each channel
Example: rgb(255, 87, 51)
Intuitive for digital displays

RGBA (RGB with Alpha)

Format: rgba(red, green, blue, alpha)
Alpha: 0-1 (transparency level)
Example: rgba(255, 87, 51, 0.8)
Adds transparency control to RGB

HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness)

Format: hsl(hue, saturation, lightness)
Hue: 0-360 degrees
Saturation & Lightness: 0-100%
Example: hsl(9, 100%, 60%)
Natural way to think about colors

HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value)

Format: hsv(hue, saturation, value)
Similar to HSL but uses "value" instead of "lightness"
Example: hsv(9, 80%, 100%)
Common in design software
