Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When should I use HEX vs RGB vs HSL?
A: HEX is compact and widely supported. RGB is intuitive for programmatic color manipulation. HSL is best for creating color variations (change lightness/saturation while keeping hue).

Q: How do I make colors lighter or darker?
A: Use HSL format and adjust the L (lightness) value. Higher L values = lighter, lower = darker. This keeps the hue consistent while changing brightness.
