Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use HSL instead of HEX or RGB in CSS?
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) makes it easy to create consistent hover states, tints, and shades in CSS Variables — you can keep the Hue constant and simply adjust the Lightness percentage.
Why do CMYK colors look slightly different from RGB/HEX on screen?
RGB and HEX are additive light models designed for digital screens, while CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is a subtractive ink model used for physical printing with a narrower color gamut.
What is a 3-digit shorthand HEX color?
When each pair of digits in a 6-digit HEX code is identical (such as #FF8800), CSS allows a 3-digit shorthand (#F80), where each digit is duplicated.
