Color Format Guide

HEX (Hexadecimal)

The most common format for web colors. Uses 6 digits (0-9, A-F) preceded by #. Each pair represents red, green, and blue values (00-FF).

#FF5733

RGB (Red, Green, Blue)

Defines colors using red, green, and blue values from 0-255. Widely supported in CSS and design software.

rgb(255, 87, 51)

HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness)

More intuitive for designers. Hue (0-360°), Saturation (0-100%), and Lightness (0-100%). Great for creating color variations.

hsl(9, 100%, 60%)

HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value)

Similar to HSL but uses Value instead of Lightness. Common in image editing software and color theory.

hsv(9, 80%, 100%)

Tips for Web Developers

Accessibility

  • • Ensure sufficient contrast ratio (4.5:1 for normal text)
  • • Test colors with colorblind simulation tools
  • • Don't rely solely on color to convey information
  • • Consider dark mode compatibility

Best Practices

  • • Use CSS custom properties for consistent color schemes
  • • HSL is great for generating color variations
  • • Consider using color scales (50, 100, 200, etc.)
  • • Test colors on different devices and screens

Color Theory Basics

Complementary Colors
