Color format questions, answered

When do I use HSL instead of RGB?

HSL separates hue from saturation and lightness, which makes programmatic adjustments intuitive - darken by lowering L, mute by lowering S. RGB and HEX are what CSS and design tools exchange.

What is the difference between HSL and HSV?

Both use hue and saturation, but HSL's third axis is lightness (100% = white) while HSV's is value/brightness (100% = the pure hue). Design software often shows HSV; CSS supports HSL.

Are shorthand hex codes like #f40 supported?

Yes - #f40 expands to #ff4400, exactly as browsers interpret it.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Conversion is simple math running in your browser.
