Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HEX and RGB?
They describe the same color differently: HEX is a six-digit code (like #2B7FFF) and RGB lists the red, green, and blue channels as numbers (like rgb(43, 127, 255)).
When should I use HSL?
HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) is handy when you want to adjust a color — lighten it, mute it, or find a matching shade — because its values map to how humans perceive color.
What is CMYK for?
CMYK is the print world: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black ink. Use it when a design is going to paper rather than a screen.
