Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between RGB and HEX?
RGB uses decimal values (0-255) for Red, Green, and Blue channels, while HEX uses hexadecimal notation (#RRGGBB). They represent the same colors but in different formats. HEX is commonly used in CSS, while RGB is often used in design software.
What is HSL and when should I use it?
HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness. It is more intuitive for humans to understand and adjust colors. Use HSL when you want to create color variations by adjusting brightness or saturation while keeping the same hue.
How do the color palette types work?
Monochromatic uses different lightness levels of the same hue. Complementary pairs colors opposite on the color wheel. Triadic uses three colors equally spaced on the wheel. Analogous uses colors adjacent to each other for harmonious schemes.
