Understanding Color Formats
HEX (Hexadecimal)
- Format:
#RRGGBBor#RGB - Example:
#FF5733or#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
