Color Format Explanations
HEX (Hexadecimal)
HEX colors use a 6-digit hexadecimal code starting with #. The format is #RRGGBB where RR (red), GG (green), and BB (blue) are values from 00 to FF (0-255 in decimal).
Example: #FF5733 (bright orange-red)
Use: Most common in web design, CSS, HTML
RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
RGB uses three values (0-255) representing the intensity of red, green, and blue light. Format: rgb(red, green, blue).
Example: rgb(255, 87, 51)
Use: CSS, image editing, digital displays
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness)
HSL represents colors by hue (0-360°), saturation (0-100%), and lightness (0-100%). More intuitive for adjusting colors.
Example: hsl(9, 100%, 60%)
Use: Modern CSS, easier color manipulation
