Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Hex color code?

A Hex color code is a 6-digit hexadecimal number representing RGB values. #4285F4 means R=66, G=133, B=244. Each pair (42, 85, F4) is a hex value from 00-FF.

What is the HSL color model?

HSL stands for Hue (0-360°), Saturation (0-100%), and Lightness (0-100%). It is more intuitive than RGB for color selection and manipulation.

What are the different number bases used for?

Binary (base 2) is fundamental to computers (0s and 1s). Octal (base 8) was historically used in computing for its compact representation. Decimal (base 10) is what humans use daily. Hexadecimal (base 16) is widely used in programming for colors (#FF0000), memory addresses, and as a compact way to represent binary (each hex digit = 4 binary bits).

How do I read hexadecimal numbers?

Hexadecimal uses digits 0-9 and letters A-F (where A=10, B=11, C=12, D=13, E=14, F=15). For example, 2F in hex equals (2×16) + 15 = 47 in decimal. The prefix 0x is often used: 0xFF = 255. Hex is popular because it's compact: the 8-bit binary 11111111 is just FF in hex.
