The document provides information about different ways to specify colors in CSS, including: 1) Color name keywords that can be used to set color property values like aqua and khaki. 2) Alpha values from 0.0 to 1.0 using rgba() and hsla() to determine transparency of colors. The transparent value creates a fully transparent element. 3) Hexadecimal color notation using # followed by 6 hexadecimal digits representing red, green, and blue values from 00 to FF, or 3 digits as an abbreviation.

Colors
Color Name Keywords
Color name keywords can be used to set color property
values for elements in CSS. h1 {
color: aqua;
}

li {
color: khaki;
}

CSS Color Alpha Values


Alpha values determine the transparency of colors in
CSS. Alpha values can be set for both RGB and HSL .midground {
colors by using rgba() and hsla() and providing background-color: rgba(0, 255, 0, 0.5);
a fourth value representing alpha. Alpha values can }
range between 0.0 (totally transparent) and 1.0
(totally opaque). .foreground {
The CSS transparent value can also be used to background-color: hsla(34, 100%, 50%,
create a fully transparent element. 0.1);
}

.transparent {
color: transparent;
}

CSS Hexadecimal Colors


CSS colors can be represented in hexadecimal (or hex)
notation. Hexadecimal digits can represent sixteen .red {
different values using 0 - 9 and a - f . color: #ff0000;
Hexadecimal colors are composed of 6 characters–each }
group of two represents a value between 0 and 255 for
red, green, or blue. For example #ff0000 is all red, no .short-blue {
green, and no blue. color: #00f;
When both characters of all three colors are repeated, }
hex colors can be abbreviated to only three values, so
#0000ff could also be represented as #00f .
CSS HSL Colors
CSS colors can be declared with the HSL color system
using hsl() syntax. This syntax contains three .light-blue {
values: hue (the color value itself), saturation (intensity), background-color: hsl(200, 70%, 50%);
and lightness. }
Hue values range from 0 to 360 while saturation and
lightness values are represented as percentages.

CSS rgb() Colors


CSS colors can be declared with RGB colors using
rgb() syntax. .hot-pink {
rgb() should be supplied with three values color: rgb(249, 2, 171);
representing red, green, and blue. These values range }
can from 0 to 255.
.green {
color: rgb(0, 255, 0);
}
