What is HEX colour format?

HEX is a 6-digit hexadecimal representation of a colour (#RRGGBB). Each pair represents red, green, and blue values from 00 to FF (0–255 in decimal). It's the most common format in web development.

What is RGB colour format?

RGB specifies a colour by its red, green, and blue components, each ranging from 0 to 255. rgb(255, 0, 0) is pure red. It's used in CSS, web design, and digital media.

HSL stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness. Hue is the colour type (0–360°), Saturation is intensity (0–100%), Lightness is how light or dark (0–100%). HSL is more intuitive for designers to adjust colours.

CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is a subtractive colour model used in colour printing. Digital screens use RGB; printers use CMYK. Converting between them involves some colour space limitations.

Why don't RGB and CMYK colours always match exactly?

RGB and CMYK have different colour gamuts (ranges of reproducible colours). Some RGB colours (especially bright blues and greens) cannot be exactly reproduced in CMYK, resulting in slight colour shifts when converting.
