Color models in web design

Digital colors are expressed in different models. HEX (#FF5733) is the web standard. RGB (255, 87, 51) describes Red, Green, Blue components. HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive for designers as it matches our natural color perception.

When to use each model?

HEX: CSS, HTML, sharing color codes | RGB: programmatic manipulation, blending effects | HSL: creating harmonious palettes, hue variations | HSB/HSV: design software (Figma, Adobe) | CMYK: print (converted differently depending on the press).
