What is the difference between RGBA and HSLA when would you use one vs the other?
HSLA stands for hue-saturation-lightness-alpha and uses the same basic markup as RGBA, apart from specifying that the color values are HSLA. One thing to remember is that HSL color is measured differently to RGB which consists of levels of red, green and blue to reach a desired color.
What is the use of a in RGBA and HSLA?
Alpha is opacity level of color . Thus Solid red color can also be written as rgba(255, 0, 0, 1) . But if we want to add transparency in red color, we need to use RGBA color.
When would you use RGBA instead of a hex value for a color?
