A HEX color code, often referred to simply as "hex" is a hexadecimal representation of a color in web design and digital graphics. It consists of a '#' symbol followed by a combination of six characters, which can be numbers (0-9) and letters (A-F). These characters represent the intensity of red, green, and blue (RGB) components in the color, allowing for a vast range of colors to be specified with precision. HEX color codes are widely used in HTML and CSS to define colors for websites, providing a standardized method for designers and developers to ensure consistent and accurate color reproduction across different platforms and browsers.
HSL color code, which stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness, is a color representation system used in digital design and computing. Unlike RGB, which is based on the red, green, and blue primary colors, HSL focuses on different aspects of color.
HSL color codes provide a more intuitive and user-friendly way to work with colors, making it easier to adjust color attributes like hue, saturation, and lightness for various design purposes in web and graphic design.
