How to Use Color Codes in Web Development

CSS Examples

Using HEX

.element {
  color: #5E17EB;
  background-color: #FF6B6B;
  border: 1px solid #222222;
}

Using RGB/RGBA

.element {
  color: rgb(94, 23, 235);
  background-color: rgba(255, 107, 107, 0.5); /* With opacity */
}

Using HSL/HSLA

.element {
  color: hsl(261, 84%, 51%);
  background-color: hsla(0, 100%, 71%, 0.5); /* With opacity */
}

Color Best Practices

  • Maintain Contrast Ratios

    Ensure text has sufficient contrast with background colors for accessibility (WCAG recommends at least 4.5:1 for normal text).

  • Consistent Color Palette

    Use a limited, consistent color palette throughout your website for better brand recognition and user experience.

  • Consider Color Blindness

    Avoid relying solely on color to convey information, as approximately 8% of men and 0.5% of women have some form of color blindness.

  • Use HSL for Adjustments

    HSL makes it easier to create variations of a color by adjusting lightness or saturation while maintaining the same hue.
