To change the color
Click the colored box where you can select the color from the color spectrum or insert a specific number using Hex, rgb, or hsl
Hex: A 6-digit code that starts with #
(like #FF5733
). It defines color using combinations of red, green, and blue in hexadecimal format. Common in web design.
rgb: Stands for Red, Green, Blue. It defines color using three numbers (like rgb(255, 87, 51)
), where each number ranges from 0 to 255 to mix the right shade.
hsl: Stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness. It defines color based on:
Hue (0–360 degrees on a color wheel),
Saturation (intensity of the color), and
Lightness (brightness from black to white). Example: hsl(12, 100%, 60%)
.
Each method produces the same result—a specific color—just in different formats.
