What is LAB color code?
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.
What is HSLA color code?
HSLA color code, an extension of the HSL color model, adds an Alpha channel to the mix. HSLA stands for Hue, Saturation, Lightness, and Alpha.
- Hue: Represents the type of color in degrees (0-360).
- Saturation: Measures the purity of the color (0% to 100%).
- Lightness: Specifies the brightness (0% for black, 100% for white).
- Alpha: Controls transparency (0 for fully transparent, 1 for fully opaque).
HSLA color codes are particularly useful in web design and graphic design, allowing designers to define colors with varying transparency levels, enhancing control over the visual appearance and layering of elements in digital content.
