The RGB Color Model (Red, Green, and Blue)

RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) is Red, Green, and Blue. Most digital images, such as those on your computer screen or in your digital camera, are created using these fundamental hues.
The RGB colour model is an additive colour model with a light component. This refers to the process of combining colours to obtain lighter shades.
You can make an absolute white by combining 100 percent red, green, and blue. Combining different combinations, on the other hand, will produce distinct colours. When red and green are combined, for example, you get yellow. Magenta is created by mixing red and blue, whereas cyan is made by mixing green and blue.

What is HSL Color?

Visual methods like charts, where each color has a distinct set of coordinates, are one of the most popular ways to express color. The RGB color space, for instance, can be organized as a cube with 255 discrete points on each side.

Even though a cube may appear straightforward, it cannot be easy to distinguish between different hues. Additionally, it is neither simple nor obvious to recognize complementary shades. The RGB color scheme was improved upon by the Hue, Saturation, and Lightness system, which was created decades ago.

CSS  HSL Function

The hsl() function define colors using the Hue-saturation-lightness model (HSL).

HSL stands for hue, saturation, and lightness - and represents a cylindrical-coordinate representation of colors.
The CSS hsl() function is used to color the background/text based on the following three parameters:

#p1 {background-color:hsl(120,100%,50%);} /* green */
#p2 {background-color:hsl(120,100%,75%);} /* light green */
#p3 {background-color:hsl(120,100%,25%);} /* dark green */
#p4 {background-color:hsl(120,60%,70%);} /* pastel green */

Syntax

<property> hsl(hue, saturation, luminance);

• hue: A unitless number value. The base of the color. Represents an angle in the color wheel from 0 to 360.
• saturation: A percentage value. Represents the saturation of the base color. 0% represents a color with no saturation at all and it shows gray. 100% means the base color is full.
• luminance: A percentage value. Represents the brightness of the base color. 0% represents a color with no luminance at all and it shows black. 100% means full lightness and it shows white. 50% means the base color is full.

Saturation and lightness are represented as percentages. 100% saturation means full color, and 0% is a shade of gray. Whereas, 100% lightness is white, 0% lightness is black, and 50% lightness is normal.

What is CMYK and Pantone

CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key (black). The Pantone Matching System is the company's most well-known product (PMS).
PMS is a specialised colour space utilised by designers in various sectors to produce high-quality offset printing. PMS is primarily utilised in the printing industry, although it also produces coloured paint, textiles, and polymers. The CMYK colour model is used in the printing business.
 

The RGB colour code is made up of the colours RED, BLUE, and GREEN. Different colours are created by combining these four base colours, just like RGB. Each colour is represented by a percentage ranging from 0% (no colour) to 100% (every colour) (all of the colors). The surface/background is the initial distinction. It's white with CMYK (e.g. the paper). This is why the "Key" colour is required to create a stunning, deep black.
 

Choose the Right Colors for Your Palette

Creating color palettes can be hard. Designers spend a lot of time trying to create cohesion between the various colors on the rainbow.

Color picker match colors related to your existing composition; leads to color scheme ideas; and generate color shades, tones and tints values.

One big piece to the puzzle is color theory. Beyond the understanding of color theory you also need to understand how to choose the right colors for your palette.

Understanding color is the first step to applying it successfully in your design. Color theory is a complex subject that analyzes how different hues/shades interact with one another. However a few basic tips can lead to finding that perfect palette.

• Analogous palettes use colors that are close to each other on the color wheel.
• Complementary palettes are created with colors that sit opposite each other on the wheel in order to offer a sense of balance.
• The triadic method consists of three main colors equally spaced on the wheel, which makes for a diverse palette.
