Introduction to Colors

Colors are extremely important in design, which is why CSS provides several ways to specify colors. These methods include:

• Named colors - blue, green, etc.
• RGB colors - Describing the red, green, and blue components that together create the final color.
• Hexadecimal colors - Another format for RGB colors.
• HSL colors - Describing the hue, saturation, and lightness of a color. These components together create the final color.

In the following exercises, we will explore how to apply colors and the advantages and disadvantages of each method of specifying colors.
