Frequently asked questions
When should I use HEX vs RGB?
HEX is more compact for CSS (#FF5733), while RGB is clearer for transparency (rgba(255,87,51,0.5)). Modern CSS also supports HSL, which is more intuitive for adjusting colors.
Why do my CMYK colors look different when printed?
Screen colors (RGB) have a wider gamut than print (CMYK). Some vibrant colors can't be reproduced in print. Always proof print-critical colors with physical samples.
What's the advantage of HSL?
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive—to make a color lighter, just increase lightness. It's easier to create consistent color variations and maintain color relationships.
