What's the difference between #ff8000 and rgb(255,128,0)?

Nothing — they're the same color, written differently. CSS, browsers and design tools all treat them identically.

Can I include opacity?

Yes — #ff8000cc adds 80% opacity. The RGBA and HSLA outputs show the alpha as a 0–1 decimal.

What's the modern CSS color syntax?

Use space-separated values: rgb(255 128 0 / 80%) and hsl(30 100% 50% / 80%). All major browsers since 2022 support it.

Is HSL better than HEX?

For coding, HSL makes lighter/darker variations of a hue trivial (just change the L). For sharing exact colors, HEX is more compact.
