Understanding Color Codes

What is a HEX Code?

A HEX (Hexadecimal) color code is a six-character code preceded by a hash (#). It's the most common way to represent colors in web design and CSS. It defines the intensity of Red, Green, and Blue (RGB) in hexadecimal notation. For example, #FFFFFF is pure white.

What is an RGB Value?

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) defines a color by specifying the intensity of its red, green, and blue components, with each value ranging from 0 to 255. For example, rgb(0, 123, 255) is a vibrant blue.

What is an HSL Value?

HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is another way to represent color. Hue is the color's position on the color wheel (0-360 degrees). Saturation is the intensity of the color (0-100%). Lightness is how light or dark the color is (0-100%). HSL is often considered more intuitive for making color adjustments.
