Understanding Color Models
Choosing the right color format is crucial for consistency across digital and print media. This tool helps you bridge the gap between different color systems.
RGB vs. CMYK
RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is an additive color model used for screens (monitors, phones). It creates white by mixing all colors. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is a subtractive model used for printing, where mixing all colors creates black.
Why use HEX codes?
A HEX code (e.g., #FF5733) is a shorthand for RGB values, widely used in web design (CSS/HTML). It's compact and universally understood by browsers, making it the standard for defining digital colors.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert HEX to RGB?
Simply paste your 6-digit hex code (like #3B82F6) into the input field above. Our tool automatically calculates the exact Red, Green, and Blue integers (0-255).
What is a "Web Safe" color?
In the early internet era, screens could only display 216 specific colors reliably. While modern screens display millions of colors, adhering to web-safe palettes ensures high contrast and accessibility.
Why use HSL instead of RGB?
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive for humans. It mimics how we perceive color difference, making it easier to create lighter or darker variations of a base color by simply adjusting the "Lightness" percentage.
