Understanding Color Codes
HEX
Example: #00BFA5. The most common format for web colors. A six-digit code representing the mix of Red, Green, and Blue.
RGB
Example: rgb(0, 191, 165). Each value ranges from 0 to 255, defining the intensity of the red, green, and blue light components.
HSL
Example: hsl(174, 100%, 37%). More intuitive for humans. Hue is color type (0-360), Saturation is intensity, Lightness is brightness.
