Frequently Asked Questions

Why do CMYK colors look different than RGB?
CMYK is used for print and has a smaller color gamut than RGB (screen). Some bright RGB colors cannot be exactly reproduced in CMYK, so conversions are approximate.
What's the best format for CSS?
HEX is most common for solid colors. RGB/RGBA is needed when you want alpha transparency. HSL/HSLA is great for programmatically adjusting colors.
Can I enter shorthand HEX?
Yes, both 3-character (#RGB) and 6-character (#RRGGBB) HEX formats are supported. 8-character HEX with alpha (#RRGGBBAA) is also supported.
