FAQ
What is the difference between RGB and HSL?
RGB mixes red, green and blue light intensities, which mirrors how screens work. HSL describes hue, saturation and lightness, which matches human intuition better and makes palette tuning easier.
Can I send the CMYK numbers straight to print?
CMYK here is an approximation from the screen gamut to the print gamut — always proof before printing. Vivid blues and greens on screen often cannot be reproduced in CMYK.
How does a six-digit value like #4F46E5 work?
The first two digits are red, the middle two green and the last two blue, each ranging 0-F. Three-digit shorthand such as #4AF is also accepted and expands to #44AAFF.
Why does the preview text flip between black and white?
The tool computes the background's WCAG relative luminance and picks white text on dark backgrounds, black text on light ones, so the preview always stays readable.
