Frequently Asked Questions
QWhat is the difference between RGB and HSL?
RGB defines color by red, green, and blue intensity (0–255 each). HSL defines color by hue (0–360°), saturation, and lightness (0–100% each) — often more intuitive for adjusting shades.
QWhen is CMYK used?
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, key/black) is used for print design, since it models how physical ink mixes. Screens use RGB/HSL since they emit light.
QDoes HEX support transparency?
An 8-digit HEX code (e.g. #FF000080) includes an alpha channel for transparency, supported in modern CSS.
