What is LCH color code?
The LCH color code stands for Lightness, Chroma, and Hue. It is a cylindrical representation of the CIELAB (LAB) color space, designed to be more intuitive for human understanding. 'Lightness' represents the brightness of the color, 'Chroma' indicates the intensity or saturation, and 'Hue' specifies the color itself (e.g., red, blue, green) as an angle on the color wheel. LCH is particularly valued in design and colorimetry for its perceptual uniformity, meaning that changes in numerical values correspond relatively well to visual changes perceived by the human eye.
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.
