FAQ
What is the difference between HEX and RGB?
HEX represents color in hexadecimal (e.g., #FF5733), while RGB uses red, green, and blue values. They are equivalent, just different notations.
What does HSL stand for?
HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness. It is closer to how humans perceive color and is ideal for adjusting color styles.
How do I get a color from a webpage element?
Use the browser developer tools element inspector to view the computed color of any element, then paste it into the color picker.
