Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HEX and RGB?
HEX is a hexadecimal color notation like #FF5733, while RGB uses decimal channel values like rgb(255, 87, 51).
When should I use HSL?
HSL is convenient for design adjustments because hue, saturation, and lightness are easier to tweak than raw RGB channels.
Are converted colors always exact?
Conversions are mathematically precise, but displayed color can vary by device profile, monitor calibration, and color space.
What is alpha in color formats?
Alpha controls transparency from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque) and is supported in formats like RGBA and HSLA.
Can I use converted colors for accessibility checks?
