Color Questions

HEX = compact web format (#FF5733). RGB = red/green/blue values 0-255. HSL = hue/saturation/lightness — easier for humans to adjust. HSV = what Photoshop uses. They all describe the same colors, just differently.

HEX is most common. RGB/RGBA when you need transparency. HSL if you're tweaking colors in code — adjusting lightness is way more intuitive than fiddling with RGB values.

Use HSL. Lower the L for darker, raise it for lighter. Keeps the hue and saturation intact. Much easier than trying to adjust RGB proportionally.

Alpha channel, 0 to 1. Use rgba(r, g, b, 0.5) for 50% transparent, or 8-digit hex like
