A HEXA color code often written as "hex with alpha" is a hexadecimal color representation that includes an alpha component, similar to the rgba color format. In this format, in addition to the standard six characters that define the red, green, and blue (RGB) components, two additional characters represent the alpha channel, which controls the color's transparency or opacity. The alpha channel ranges from 00 (completely transparent) to FF (completely opaque), allowing for a wide range of transparency levels in a color. This format is commonly used in web design and graphic design to specify colors with transparency, providing control over the visual appearance of elements on a web page or in digital graphics.
The LAB color space (specifically CIELAB or CIE L*a*b*) is a color standard defined by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) in 1976. It represents colors with three dimensions: 'L' for lightness (ranging from 0 for black to 100 for white), 'a' for the green-red color component, and 'b' for the blue-yellow color component. Unlike RGB or CMYK, LAB is designed to be device-independent, meaning it defines colors based on human perception rather than how they are produced by a specific screen or printer. This makes it an crucial intermediate space for converting between different color profiles.
