Colors

Colors are an important aspect of our visual world. In HTML, colors can be represented using various formats such as named colors, hexadecimal codes, RGB values, and HSL values.

Named Colors

HTML has a set of 140 standard color names that can be used directly in CSS. Some common named colors include red, blue, green, and yellow.

Hexadecimal Codes

Hexadecimal codes are a way to represent colors using a combination of six letters and numbers. For example, the color red is represented as #FF0000, where FF represents the amount of red, 00 represents the amount of green, and 00 represents the amount of blue.

RGB Values

RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is another way to represent colors in HTML. Each color channel is represented by a number between 0 and 255. For example, the color red can be represented as rgb(255, 0, 0).

HSL Values

HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is a color representation that defines colors based on their hue, saturation, and lightness. For example, the color red can be represented as hsl(0, 100%, 50%), where 0 is the hue for red, 100% is the saturation, and 50% is the lightness.

By using these different color representations, web designers and developers have a wide range of options to choose from when adding color to their websites and applications.
