❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HEX, RGB and HSL? ▾
HEX uses hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) for compact representation. RGB uses 0-255 values for each channel. HSL uses intuitive hue (0-360°), saturation (0-100%) and lightness (0-100%) values.
Which format should I use in CSS? ▾
All are valid CSS. HSL is often easiest for creating color variations (adjust lightness). HEX is most compact. CSS Custom Properties (variables) can store any format.
What is the alpha channel? ▾
Alpha controls transparency (0 = transparent, 1 = opaque). In CSS: rgba(0, 200, 150, 0.5) for 50% transparent, or #00C89680 in 8-digit HEX.
