Understanding Color Formats

Color Formats

  • HEX (Hexadecimal): Most common format for web colors, uses 6 characters (e.g., #FF5733)
  • RGB (Red Green Blue): Defines colors using values 0-255 for each channel
  • HSL (Hue Saturation Lightness): More intuitive format based on color wheel (0-360° hue)
  • 3-digit HEX: Shorthand notation where each digit is doubled (e.g., #F73 = #FF7733)
  • Color Harmonies: Mathematically related colors that work well together in designs

Using Color Harmonies

  • Complementary colors create high contrast and vibrant designs
  • Analogous colors create harmonious, serene color schemes
  • Triadic colors provide balanced, colorful palettes
  • Split-complementary offers contrast without being too bold
  • Use shades and tints to create depth and visual hierarchy
