Frequently Asked Questions
HEX vs RGB vs HSL?
HEX:
#FF5733 — web-friendly, 6 digits. RGB: rgb(255, 87, 51) — numeric Red/Green/Blue 0-255. HSL: hsl(11, 100%, 60%) — Hue/Saturation/Lightness — easier for designers to tweak.Why use HSL?
Easier to intuitively adjust colors. Change hue without affecting saturation or lightness, or darken without shifting color. Widely used in modern CSS frameworks like Tailwind.
What's the difference between RGB and RGBA?
RGBA adds an alpha channel (transparency).
rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5) is half-transparent red. HEX equivalent: #FF000080 (8-char HEX with alpha).Why does my monitor show the color differently?
Monitors have different color gamuts and calibration. For exact color matching, use a calibrated monitor and the sRGB color space. For web use, default sRGB is fine.
