Frequently Asked Questions

Which color formats are supported? ▾

We support hexadecimal HEX (#RRGGBB), standard RGB (0-255 arrays), modern HSL (hue, saturation, lightness variations), and CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) used for physical printing.

How accurate is the CMYK screen conversion? ▾

The digital display conversion relies on standard mathematical formulas to approximate CMYK. Since screens emit light (RGB) and printers absorb light (CMYK), for extreme precision printing always verify colors against a physical Pantone book or a professional color management system using ICC profiles.

Why use HSL over RGB in CSS? ▾

HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is vastly more intuitive for human designers. If you have a brand color in HSL, you can trivially create lighter/darker shades just by adjusting the single 'Lightness' percentage, which is mathematically difficult in raw RGB.
