What is a HEX color?
Hex colors are a digital color system used in web design and digital graphics. They consist of a six-digit code preceded by a ‘#’ symbol, combining numbers and letters. These codes precisely define colors for digital devices to display.
Hex colors offer a vast palette of options, ranging from vibrant hues to subtle shades, allowing designers to select and apply colors with precision in digital environments. Think of it as an extensive digital color palette, enabling creative coloring across the internet and various digital platforms.
What is RGB?
RGB is a color model used mainly for digital displays. It stands for Red, Green, and Blue. These three colors of light combine in different intensities to create a wide range of colors on screens.
When you look at a digital image or video, your device uses RGB to make sure all the colors look right. It’s like a recipe for colors, with each part (R, G, B) adding a special touch to make the perfect shade for your digital pictures and graphics on screens like computers, smartphones, and TVs.
