Question 1

What is OKLCH color?

Accepted Answer

A perceptually uniform color space with Lightness, Chroma, and Hue. Better for color manipulation.

Question 2

Why use OKLCH over HSL?

Accepted Answer

OKLCH maintains perceptual consistency. In HSL, equal lightness values don't look equally bright.

Question 3

Which color format should I use?

Accepted Answer

Use HEX (#FF5733) for CSS, RGB(255,87,51) for code, CMYK for print. HSL is intuitive for adjusting brightness and saturation.

Question 4

Why do print colors look different from screen?

Accepted Answer

Screens emit RGB light; printers use CMYK ink. CMYK has a smaller color range (gamut), so bright screen colors may appear duller in print.
