Understanding Color Formats

HEX Colors

HEX (hexadecimal) colors are represented by a 6-digit code preceded by a hash symbol (#). For example, #FF0000 represents pure red. Each pair of digits represents the intensity of red, green, and blue respectively, with values ranging from 00 to FF (0 to 255 in decimal).

RGB Colors

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) colors specify the intensity of red, green, and blue components with values from 0 to 255. For example, rgb(255, 0, 0) represents pure red. RGB colors can also include an alpha channel for transparency, written as rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.5) where the alpha value ranges from 0 (completely transparent) to 1 (completely opaque).

HSL Colors

HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is a more intuitive color model. Hue is represented as an angle from 0 to 360 degrees around the color wheel. Saturation and lightness are percentages from 0% to 100%. For example, hsl(0, 100%, 50%) represents pure red. HSL can also include an alpha channel for transparency, written as hsla(0, 100%, 50%, 0.5).
