Color Values Explained

Color Name: In HTML and CSS, a color name is a predefined keyword that represents a specific color. Modern browsers support 140 standard color names, which can be used to style text, backgrounds, borders, and other webpage elements.

HEX: A hexadecimal (HEX) color code defines a color using three pairs of hexadecimal digits that represent the red, green, and blue (RGB) color channels. Every HEX color begins with a hash symbol (#), such as #ff5733.

RGB: The RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color model creates colors by combining different intensities of red, green, and blue light. Each component ranges from 0 to 255, allowing more than 16 million possible color combinations.

HSL: (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) describes colors using three values: hue (0–359°), saturation (0–100%), and lightness (0–100%). This model is often preferred for creating and adjusting color variations in CSS.

HWB: (Hue, Whiteness, Blackness) defines colors using a hue value together with the percentages of whiteness and blackness. Like HSL and HSV, it is based on a cylindrical color model and provides an intuitive way to lighten or darken colors.

CMYK: (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is a subtractive color model used primarily for commercial printing. Colors are produced by combining varying amounts of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks on a light-colored surface.

NCOL: (Natural Color System) is a simplified method for describing colors using a base color letter followed by a percentage. The percentage indicates how far the color shifts toward the next primary color. For example, R30 represents red with 30% yellow, producing an orange-red color.
