Knowra Web colors Web colors Web colors are color values used to specify colors in web documents, most commonly through CSS color names, hexadecimal notation, and functional color values.
CSS color : A CSS data type that represents a color using named keywords, numeric notation, or color functions. Web colors are chiefly authored through this CSS data type.
CSS color functions : CSS functions such as `rgb()`, `hsl()`, and `color()` that construct color values. They provide flexible ways to express web colors beyond named keywords and hex codes.
Web design : The practice of planning and creating the visual presentation and interaction of websites. Web colors help establish visual hierarchy, branding, and interface states.
HSL and HSV : Cylindrical color models that represent colors using hue and saturation with lightness or value. They offer more intuitive ways to adjust web colors than direct RGB channel values.
Color management : The control of color capture, conversion, display, and reproduction across devices. Web color consistency depends on a wider pipeline than CSS values alone.
Hexadecimal color : A color notation that encodes red, green, and blue channel values as hexadecimal digits. Six-digit hex codes are a familiar compact form for web colors.
sRGB : A standard RGB color space used widely for displays, images, and web content. Traditional CSS RGB values are interpreted in this widely supported color space.
Web accessibility : The practice of making websites usable by people with a wide range of abilities. Color choices must preserve perceivable information for users with color-vision differences.
CMYK color model : A subtractive color model using cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks for print. Unlike typical web colors, CMYK values describe ink mixtures rather than display light.
Wide-gamut color : Color representation that covers a broader range than the traditional sRGB gamut. Modern CSS can specify colors that older screens and workflows may not reproduce.
