Why is HSL better than hex?
HSL is a more recent and spontaneous way to work with colors. Unlike in Hex and RGBA, where you have to meddle with some numbers to get the color you want, in HSL, we can define the color using the Hue and play with the second and third parameter percentages to get the saturation and lightness levels you need.
What is HSL color used for?
HSL(Hue-Saturation-Lightness)
The HSL color model is used in numerical color specifications. The advantage of HSL over RGB is that it is far more intuitive: you can guess at the colors you want, and then tweak.
When would you use RGBA instead of a hex value for a color?
RGBA (Red, Green, Blue, Alpha) is used for making a colour transparent. The value for A (alpha) is from 0, completely transparent, to 1 completely opaque. hex, is a more recent quick easy value used exclusively for websites and applications.
What is RGB and HSL?
Basically it's all the same, just the representation: RGB: You define how much Red / Green / Blue you want to have in decimal values between 0 and 255 Hex: You define how much Red / Green / Blue you want to have in hexadecimal values between 00 and FF HSL: You define a base color, the saturation and lightness.
