Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between HSL and HSV?
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive for adjusting brightness. HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value) is more intuitive for color picking and matches how many color pickers work.
When should I use CMYK vs RGB?
Use CMYK for print design (subtractive color). Use RGB for digital displays (additive color). Note that not all RGB colors can be accurately reproduced in CMYK.
Are named colors reliable for web design?
Named colors like "red" or "blue" are supported by all browsers but offer limited color options. Use HEX or RGB for precise color control.
What is LAB color space?
LAB is a device-independent color space that represents how humans perceive color. It's useful for color matching and professional photo editing.
How do I handle transparency/alpha?
Use RGBA for RGB with alpha, HSLA for HSL with alpha, or 8-digit HEX (#RRGGBBAA). Alpha values range from 0 (transparent) to 1 (opaque).
