HEX is a six-digit code that starts with a hashtag (such as
#FF5733). It is often used in web design to specify colors. The code represents the values Red, Green, and Blue written in hexadecimal (base 16). It is short, efficient, and works well in HTML and CSS. -
RGB stands for Red, Green, Blue. Colors are created by mixing these three lights. Each one has a value between 0 and 255. For example,
rgb(255, 0, 0)means pure red. This format is used on screens and digital displays. -
HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness. It gives you a more visual way to adjust colors:
- Hue: the actual color, measured from 0° to 360° (e.g., 0° is red, 120° is green).
- Saturation: how rich or dull the color is. 0% is gray, 100% is full color.
- Lightness: how light or dark the color appears. 0% is black, 100% is white.
HSL is great for tweaking shades or finding matching tones.
Which format should I use for websites?
HEX is the most used in CSS and HTML. It’s short and clean. RGB is okay too. If you want to tweak colors easily, HSL gives you more control.
Is this useful for graphic design?
Yes. Designers often switch between formats. This helps you match brand colors or create variants faster.
Why are there different color codes?
Each one fits a purpose. Screens use RGB, websites use HEX, and HSL is easier for adjusting colors. They all point to the same color, just written differently.
Will the color look exactly the same?
The values are accurate, but color might look a bit different on other screens because of brightness or screen settings.
