Understanding Color Formats

Digital colors can be represented in several formats: HEX uses hexadecimal codes (#FF0000), RGB uses red-green-blue values (255,0,0), and HSL describes hue-saturation-lightness (0,100%,50%). Each format serves different purposes in design and development.

When to Use Each Format

HEX codes are commonly used in CSS and design tools. RGB is intuitive for color mixing and digital displays. HSL is particularly useful for creating color variations as it matches how humans perceive color relationships.

Color Manipulation

Understanding color formats enables effective color manipulation. For example, to create a lighter version of a color in HSL, you can adjust the lightness value while keeping hue and saturation constant.
