Color Formats Explained

HEX Color Codes

HEX color codes are six-digit codes that represent colors in web design. They start with a # symbol and use numbers and letters (A-F) to represent the red, green, and blue values.

RGB Color Values

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values represent colors using three numbers between 0 and 255, indicating the intensity of each color channel. This format is commonly used in design software and CSS.

HSL Color Values

HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) values represent colors using three numbers: hue (0-360), saturation (0-100%), and lightness (0-100%). This format is intuitive for designers as it matches how we think about colors.

Tips for Using Color Palettes

  • Use contrasting colors for text and backgrounds
  • Keep your palette limited to 3-5 colors for consistency
  • Consider color psychology and cultural meanings
  • Test your palette in different contexts and lighting
  • Use color tools to ensure accessibility standards
