A HEX color code, often referred to simply as "hex" is a hexadecimal representation of a color in web design and digital graphics. It consists of a '#' symbol followed by a combination of six characters, which can be numbers (0-9) and letters (A-F). These characters represent the intensity of red, green, and blue (RGB) components in the color, allowing for a vast range of colors to be specified with precision. HEX color codes are widely used in HTML and CSS to define colors for websites, providing a standardized method for designers and developers to ensure consistent and accurate color reproduction across different platforms and browsers.
The OKLAB color space is a perceptual color space designed by Björn Ottosson in 2020. It serves as a modern improvement over the traditional CIELAB space, aiming to be simple to use while correcting flaws in LAB's perceptual uniformity, especially in the handling of blue hues which can appear purple in LAB. OKLAB uses three coordinates: 'L' for perceived lightness, 'a' for green-red, and 'b' for blue-yellow. Its superior perceptual accuracy makes it excellent for tasks like color blending, gradient generation, and image processing.
