Understanding Color Formats
Digital Formats
HEX (Hexadecimal)
Used in web design. Format: #RRGGBB where each pair represents red, green, and blue values in hexadecimal (00-FF).
RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
Additive color model used by screens. Each value ranges from 0-255, representing the intensity of each color channel.
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness)
Intuitive color model. Hue (0-360°), Saturation (0-100%), Lightness (0-100%). Great for color adjustments.
Print Format
CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black)
Subtractive color model used in printing. Each value is a percentage (0-100%) representing the amount of each ink.
⚠️ Important Notes
- Colors may appear different between screen and print
- Not all RGB colors can be accurately reproduced in CMYK
- Always test print colors with actual printing materials
- Web-safe colors use specific HEX values for browser compatibility
