Frequently Asked Questions
What is OKLCH?
OKLCH is a new CSS color space that is perceptually uniform, meaning changes in the values correspond to predictable visual changes. It's great for creating accessible color palettes and consistent gradients.
Why use HSL over HEX?
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is often more intuitive for humans to work with. It's easier to create variations of a color (like lighter or darker shades) by just adjusting the Lightness value, whereas HEX codes require complex calculations.
What is the difference between RGB and CMYK?
RGB is an additive color model used for screens (emitting light), while CMYK is a subtractive model used for printing (reflecting light). Colors often look brighter in RGB than in CMYK.
