Q: What is the difference between RGB and HSL?

RGB defines colors by mixing light values from 0-255. HSL is more intuitive - hue is the color type, saturation is intensity, and lightness is brightness. HSL is often easier for adjusting colors.

Q: How do I ensure my colors are accessible?

Use the contrast preview to check text readability. For accessibility, ensure a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text (WCAG AA).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a HEX color code?

A HEX color code is a 6-character code representing colors in web design. It starts with # followed by 6 characters (0-9 and A-F) representing red, green, and blue values. For example, #FF0000 is pure red, #00FF00 is green, and #0000FF is blue.

What is the difference between RGB and HSL?

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) defines colors by mixing light values from 0-255. HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive - hue is the color type (0-360°), saturation is color intensity (0-100%), and lightness is brightness (0-100%). HSL is often easier for adjusting colors.
