What is Hex?

HEX, short for hexadecimal, is a color code used in web design that represents colors using six characters. Each pair of characters defines the intensity of the red, green, and blue channels, respectively. HEX codes start with a “#” followed by six alphanumeric characters (0-9, A-F).

In HSL, H is Hue, S is Saturation, and L is Lightness. This color model is used in web design and graphics to define colors in terms of their hue (angle on the color wheel), saturation (intensity), and lightness (brightness). Hue spans 0 to 360 degrees, with saturation and lightness both ranging from 0 to 100%.
