RGB and HSL colour formats explained
RGB (rgb(r, g, b)) describes a colour by mixing red, green and blue light, each from 0 to 255, for example rgb(255, 87, 51).
HSL (hsl(h, s%, l%)) describes colour by hue (0–360°), saturation and lightness, which makes it easy to create lighter or darker shades, for example hsl(11, 100%, 60%).
Both formats can describe the same colour on screen — they are just different ways of writing it. Different tools and code libraries prefer different formats, which is why converting is so useful.
