Color Formats Explained
The web standard. Six hexadecimal digits representing Red, Green, Blue channels. Used in CSS, Figma, Sketch, and most design tools.
Red, Green, Blue values from 0 to 255. The native format of screens and monitors. Used in CSS rgba(), Canvas API, and programmatic color manipulation.
Hue (0-360°), Saturation (0-100%), Lightness (0-100%). More intuitive for humans — easy to make a color lighter or more muted without changing the base hue.
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key (black). The standard for print. Screen colors (RGB) will look different on paper because ink mixing is subtractive.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between HEX and RGB?
They represent the same information in different notation. HEX is the hexadecimal encoding of RGB values. For example, #FF5733 is identical to rgb(255, 87, 51) — just a more compact way to write it in CSS.
When should I use HSL instead of RGB?
Use HSL when you need to create color variations programmatically. It's much easier to make a color lighter (increase L), more vibrant (increase S), or shift its tone (change H) than figuring out which RGB channels to adjust.
Why does my color look different when printed?
Screens use RGB (additive light), while printers use CMYK (subtractive ink). Some vibrant screen colors — especially bright blues and greens — simply cannot be reproduced with ink. Always convert to CMYK and request a print proof before final production.
