Frequently Asked Questions
How do you convert HEX color codes to RGB values?
HEX colors use three 2-digit hexadecimal pairs representing Red, Green, and Blue. To convert #3B82F6 to RGB: take 3B (3×16 + 11 = 59), 82 (8×16 + 2 = 130), and F6 (15×16 + 6 = 246), resulting in rgb(59, 130, 246).
What is the difference between RGB and HSL color models?
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is an additive hardware color model suited for digital screens. HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is a cylindrical representation designed for human perception, making it much easier to create lighter, darker, or desaturated color palettes in CSS.
Why do printed colors differ from screen colors (RGB vs CMYK)?
Digital displays emit light using additive RGB (0–255), creating millions of vivid colors. Commercial printing uses subtractive CMYK inks (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) on paper, which has a narrower color gamut and cannot reproduce bright neon digital screens.
What is the CSS 8-digit HEX color format with alpha channel?
An 8-digit HEX code includes two extra hex digits at the end for opacity/alpha. For example, #3B82F680 represents #3B82F6 at 50% opacity (80 in hex = 128 / 255 = ~50%).
