Understanding Color Spaces

HEX Colors

  • 6-digit format: #RRGGBB
  • 3-digit shorthand: #RGB (e.g., #F00 = #FF0000)
  • Each pair represents 0-255 in hexadecimal (00-FF)

RGB Colors

  • Red: 0-255
  • Green: 0-255
  • Blue: 0-255
  • Combined: over 16 million color combinations

HSL Colors

  • Hue: The color itself (0° = red, 120° = green, 240° = blue)
  • Saturation: Color intensity (0% = gray, 100% = full color)
  • Lightness: Brightness (0% = black, 50% = normal, 100% = white)

Why Designers Love HSL

HSL is intuitive for creating color schemes:

  • Keep hue constant, vary saturation for muted/vibrant versions
  • Adjust lightness for light/dark variations
  • Easy to create accessible color palettes
