What is the difference between HSL and HSV/HSB?
Both use Hue and Saturation, but differ in the third component. HSL (Lightness) models colors where 100% lightness is always white and 0% is always black. HSV/HSB (Value/Brightness) models how a color appears on a black background — 100% value is the full color, not white.
What is CMYK and when is it used?
CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is a subtractive color model used in color printing. While RGB is for screens (additive light), CMYK represents how ink layers combine on paper. Graphic designers use CMYK values when preparing documents for print.
