Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?
HEX uses hexadecimal (#ff5733), RGB uses red/green/blue values (rgb(255,87,51)), and HSL uses hue/saturation/lightness (hsl(11,100%,60%)). All represent the same colors differently.
Which format should I use in CSS?
HEX is most common for static colors. HSL is great when you need to adjust lightness or saturation. RGBA is useful when you need transparency.
What are color shades?
Shades are variations of a color with different lightness values — from very dark (near black) to very light (near white). Useful for building cohesive color schemes.
