In-depth knowledge of colour models
In the digital and physical worlds, colour is defined by different mathematical models. Understanding these models and their conversion is essential for designers, front-end developers and printing professionals.
Common Colour Format Parsing
- HEX (hexadecimal): The most commonly used format in web design starts with #, followed by six-digit hexadecimal numbers. It's actually RGB. Another expression of value.
- RGB (Red and Green Blue): Coloured models, mainly for electronic screens (monitored, mobile phones). It simulates the three-protocol mix of light.
- HSL (chromatography, saturation, brightness): RGB It's a more human-perception model. The desired colour can be found more intuitively by adjusting the colour angle, saturation and brightness percentages.
- CMYK (Cyan, Red, Yellow, Black): Colour-deficient models, mainly for printing. It simulates the mixing of ink on paper.
RGB Distinction from CMYK
This is one of the most common faults in the design. RGB is a kind of # Shining # Models, the mix of colors becomes brighter and eventually white. And CMYK is a kind of... Retrospect Models (inks) are made, and the mix of colours becomes darker and eventually black. This is why the colours on the screen tend to be dim on paper.
The use of color psychology in design
Different colors can trigger different emotional reactions. For example, the cyan (default color of the tool) usually conveys a sense of technology, refreshment and trust; And purple is often associated with high-profile, mysterious and creative. In the course of branding or UI development uses HSL models to adjust the consistency of the tone and to significantly enhance visual beauty.
