Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between HSL and HSB?
▾
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) and HSB/HSV (Hue, Saturation, Brightness/Value) are both cylindrical color models. In HSL, 50% lightness is a pure color; in HSB, 100% brightness with 100% saturation is a pure color. HSB is commonly used in design tools like Photoshop and Figma.
What is CMYK used for?
▾
CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is the color model used in color printing. Unlike RGB which is additive (light), CMYK is subtractive (ink). Converting to CMYK is essential when preparing designs for print.
Why do RGB and CMYK values not round-trip perfectly?
▾
RGB and CMYK have different color gamuts. Some RGB colors (especially very saturated ones) cannot be reproduced in print, and the conversion involves rounding. For precise print work, always verify with your print provider.
