About Color Formats
HEX - A six-digit code preceded by #, representing RGB values in hexadecimal format. Example: #FF0000 for red.
RGB - Three values (0-255) representing Red, Green, and Blue intensities. Example: rgb(255, 0, 0) for red.
HSL - Represents Hue (0-360), Saturation (0-100%), and Lightness (0-100%). Example: hsl(0, 100%, 50%) for red.

Understanding Color Formats
HEX Colors
Hexadecimal color codes are six-digit combinations representing RGB values. Each pair of digits represents red, green, and blue intensities in base-16 format. Example: #FF0000 represents pure red.
RGB Colors
RGB uses three values from 0 to 255 to represent red, green, and blue intensities. This additive color model is used in digital displays. Example: rgb(255, 0, 0) represents pure red.
HSL Colors
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is more intuitive for humans. Hue is a degree (0-360), while saturation and lightness are percentages. Example: hsl(0, 100%, 50%) represents pure red.
