Side-by-side explainers for the color models and notations designers use every day.
HSL and HSV both describe color by hue, saturation and a third axis — but lightness and value behave differently. Compare the two and learn when to use each.
RGB is additive color for screens; CMYK is subtractive color for print. Learn the difference, why print colors look duller, and when to convert.
OKLCH is a perceptually uniform color model; HSL is the older, simpler one. Compare them and learn why OKLCH gives more predictable, accessible palettes.
HEX and RGB describe the exact same colors — one in hexadecimal, one in decimal. Learn the difference, how alpha works in each, and when to use which.
