Frequently asked questions

When should I use CMYK?

CMYK is used for print, where colors are made by layering cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink. Screens use RGB — expect small differences between the two.

What is HSL good for?

HSL (hue, saturation, lightness) matches how humans think about color, making it easy to create lighter or darker shades of the same hue in CSS.
