Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HEX and RGB?
HEX and RGB represent the same colors in different notations. HEX uses a 6-digit hexadecimal string (#FF0000), while RGB uses three decimal values from 0–255 (rgb(255, 0, 0)). Both define red, green, and blue channel intensities.
When should I use HSL instead of RGB?
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive for creating color variations. To make a color lighter, increase L. To desaturate, decrease S. This makes HSL ideal for generating consistent color palettes and themes.
