FAQ

What’s the difference between HSL and HSV? HSL (Lightness) and HSV (Value/Brightness) are different ways to represent colors. HSL is more common in web development.

How do I add transparency? Use RGBA or HSLA formats. The alpha channel (0-1) controls transparency: 0 = fully transparent, 1 = fully opaque.

Why use HSL instead of RGB? HSL is more intuitive for adjusting colors - you can easily change brightness or saturation while keeping the hue constant.

What’s the # symbol in HEX colors? The hash (#) is a CSS requirement for hex colors. Some systems use hex without it.
