Frequently Asked Questions

What is a color picker tool?

A color picker tool allows you to select colors visually and get their corresponding color codes in different formats like HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, and CMYK for use in web design, graphic design, and printing.

What's the difference between RGB and HEX colors?

RGB uses decimal values (0-255) for Red, Green, and Blue components, while HEX uses hexadecimal notation (00-FF). Both represent the same colors but in different formats - HEX is more common in web design.

When should I use HSL instead of RGB?

HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive for color adjustments. It's easier to create color variations, adjust brightness, or create color schemes while maintaining the same hue.

What is CMYK and when is it used?

CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is used for printing. Unlike RGB which is additive (light-based), CMYK is subtractive (ink-based) and represents how colors appear when printed on paper.

Can I use these color codes in CSS?

Yes! All formats except CMYK can be used directly in CSS. HEX (#FF0000), RGB (rgb(255,0,0)), and HSL (hsl(0,100%,50%)) are all valid CSS color values.
