Frequently Asked Questions

HEX (hexadecimal) color format uses 6 characters (0-9, A-F) to represent colors, starting with #. The first two characters are red, middle two are green, and last two are blue. Example: #FF0000 is pure red.

RGB stands for Red, Green, Blue. It uses three numbers (0-255) to define colors. Example: rgb(255, 0, 0) is pure red. RGB is commonly used in CSS and digital design.

HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness. Hue is the color degree (0-360), Saturation is intensity (0-100%), and Lightness is how bright (0-100%). HSL is more intuitive for adjusting colors than RGB.

HEX is most common for web design and is compact. RGB is useful when you need transparency (RGBA). HSL is best when you want to adjust brightness or saturation programmatically. All formats work in modern CSS.

To pick colors from an image, you'll need a color picker browser extension or tool like ColorZilla, or use design software like Photoshop or GIMP. This tool is for converting and exploring color codes once you have them.
