It's important to learn about setting color values early on in your CSS journey - but it can be confusing! There are so many ways to provide color values. This tutorial breaks all of the different color values formats down (color names, rgb, rgba, hex, hsl, hsla) with simple explanations. You will also learn about the alpha channel, the VS Code color picker, and useful tools like color contrast checkers that will insure your color choices meet accessibility standards for the web.

Playing with the colours was really interesting!

Thank you, Dave

Nice video, I rarely use hsl unless I wanted to play with the saturation/lightness of existing color then I converted bak to hex, Chrome dev tools/Styles tab has a little contrast ratio checker embedded in the color picker, the cool thing about it is it shows the AA and AAA contrast curves so you can adjust your color as needed, it can also suggest a color for you, you need to inspect the font color in order to see the contrast ratio tool but sometimes it shows "no contrast information available". Thanks Dave

If someone is confused about HSL: -Hue: Like Dave said a Color wheel; purely for selecting color. 0:Red >> 120:Green >> 240:Blue >> then 0:Red again. -Saturation: Related to "how much Gray" is in the color. 100% is no Gray; pure color. 50% is 50% Gray and 50% color. 0% is only Gray; no color. -Lightness: 50% means.. 50% light given to color. Towards 0% it goes darker-black; less light. Towards 100% it takes goes lighter-white; more light. Hope this helps.

Thanks for writing what I wanted to write in a very clear way. I did not clearly understand saturation after watching this video. Hence, I went to the great HTML & CSS book by Jon Duckett where I found that saturation is related to the amount of gray and lightness is related to the amount of black - I also found that 100% for both mean absence of gray or black (which is counter-intuitive). In my mind, I mapped lightness to contrast as the measure of white light - hence 0% means no whiteness and 100% means no whiteness. But I am not really sure why gray is important for specifying the color.

Great lecture sir❤

Hello Dave! Take love from bottom of my heart. You are awesome. I have a request to you. It is possible to add sequential number on series video titles? It will be very helpful for us. Thanks.

I understand your request. It is not good for the search results. I do put a number on each thumbnail for the video and you can see the correct order in the playlist here: kzread.info/head/PL0Zuz27SZ-6Mx9fd9elt80G1bPcySmWit

Which vs code theme and font did you use?

@DaveGrayTeachesCode

GitHub theme. Has several dark mode options. I did not choose a font specifically.

In css, there are four special universal property values to control inheritance: inherit, initial, unset, revert. I don't understand how revert works. Will u make a video on it?
