Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between RGB and CMYK?
- RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is for screens and digital media, using additive color mixing. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is for print, using subtractive mixing.
- When should I use HSL instead of HEX?
- HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive for creating color variations. It's easy to make a color lighter, darker, or more muted by adjusting one value.
- Why do some HEX codes have 8 characters?
- 8-character HEX includes an alpha (transparency) channel. For example, #FF573380 is the same color at 50% opacity. The last two digits represent transparency (00=transparent, FF=opaque).
