## FAQ
Is my data safe?
Yes. All color conversion happens entirely in your browser using pure JavaScript. No data is sent to any server.
What color formats are supported?
HEX (#RGB or #RRGGBB), RGB (0-255 for each channel), HSL (Hue 0-360, Saturation/Lightness 0-100%), and CMYK (0-100% for each channel).
What is the difference between RGB and HSL?
RGB defines colors by mixing red, green, and blue light. HSL defines colors by hue (color type), saturation (color intensity), and lightness (brightness). HSL is often more intuitive for designers because it separates color from brightness.
When should I use CMYK?
CMYK is primarily used for print design, as it represents how colors are mixed with physical inks. Digital displays use RGB. Note that not all RGB colors can be accurately reproduced in CMYK.
