About Color Picker

Digital color can be represented in a number of ways. The most common ways to represent color on the web are via a 6-digit HEX number, RGB, and HSL.

• Hex - 6-digit, 24 bit, hexidecimal number that represents Red, Green, and Blue. An example of a Hex color representation is #123456, 12 is Red, 34 is Green, and 56 is Blue. There are 16 million possible colors. HEX color values are supported in all browsers.
• RGB - RGB color value is specified with: red, green, blue. Each parameter defines the intensity of the color as an integer between 0 and 255. RGB color values are supported in all browsers.
• HSL - stands for Hue, Saturation, and Lightness. The values are based on a position from the center of a color wheel. The value for Hue is from 0 to 360, representing the degrees on a color wheel. Saturation is the distance from the center of the color wheel. The L stands for Lightness, which represents the preceived liminance of the color. HSL was added in CSS3.
