Color Spaces

A color space is a model for describing colors numerically. Common web workflows use HEX, RGB, HSL, and increasingly OKLCH.

Common Usage Patterns

  • HEX: Compact and common in style guides and handoff docs.
  • RGB: Practical for calculations and JS-driven color logic.
  • HSL: Quick hue/saturation/lightness tweaking.
  • OKLCH: Better perceptual consistency for modern design systems.

Put It Into Practice

Convert between spaces and build reusable color scales for apps, dashboards, and brand palettes.
