Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert HEX to RGB?
The HEX format splits 6 digits into pairs: the first two represent red, the next two green, and the last two blue. Each pair is converted from hexadecimal to decimal (0-255).
What is hue in HSL?
Hue is the angle on the color wheel (0 to 360 degrees). 0 degrees is red, 120 degrees is green, and 240 degrees is blue. Rotating the hue helps find complementary and harmonious colors.
