🌈 The Basics of Digital Color in Our App
RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
RGB is the most common way computers and screens display color. Think of it as mixing light.
Every color you see is created by mixing three primary colors of light: Red, Green, and Blue.
* Each of these three colors is assigned a number from 0 to 255.
* 0 means the color is completely off (no light).
* 255 means the color is fully on (maximum light).
Examples:
* Black: (0, 0, 0)
* White: (255, 255, 255)
* Pure Red: (255, 0, 0)

Hex RGB (The Shorthand Code)
Hex codes are just a shorter way to write the same RGB numbers that designers and developers commonly use.
* Instead of three decimal numbers (0–255), the hex code uses six characters (0–9 and A–F).
* It always starts with a hash symbol (#).
* The six characters are grouped into three pairs: Red, Green, Blue.
* First two digits: Red value
* Middle two digits: Green value
* Last two digits: Blue value
Example:
* The RGB color White (255, 255, 255) is represented as #FFFFFF.
* The RGB color Blue (0, 0, 255) is represented as #0000FF.

Alpha (Transparency)
The Alpha value controls a color's transparency or opacity. This is what lets a color blend with whatever is behind it on the screen.
* The Alpha value is typically a number from 0 to 255 (or 0% to 100%).
* Alpha = 0 (or 0%): The color is completely transparent (invisible).
* Alpha = 255 (or 100%): The color is completely opaque (fully visible).
* By adjusting the alpha in your favorites, you can see exactly how the color will look when it's slightly see-through!

What’s new

Improved Color Order! The new sorting algorithm is here.

Your palettes are now organized using HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) for a more logical and beautiful display.
