About Color Models
- The RGB color model is an additive model in which red, green and blue light are combined to reproduce a wide array of colors. Each channel takes an integer value from 0 (absent) to 255 (full intensity), giving 256³ = 16,777,216 possible colors.
- HEX notation encodes each RGB channel as a two-digit hexadecimal number: #RRGGBB. For example, pure red is #FF0000 (R=255, G=0, B=0). HEX is the standard color format in HTML/CSS and is case-insensitive.
- The HSL model (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is often more intuitive for designers because adjusting lightness while keeping hue constant produces consistent tonal variations. CSS supports hsl() natively alongside rgb() and hex.
- For print workflows, CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is the standard. Monitors use additive RGB; printers use subtractive CMYK. Direct conversion between the two is non-trivial and requires color profile (ICC) management for accurate results.
