      Example: rgb(255, 0, 0) equals pure red.
    • –HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness): Describes colors based on color type, vibrancy, and brightness.
      Hue (0–360°), Saturation (0–100%), Lightness (0–100%).
      Example: hsl(0, 100%, 50%) equals red.
    • –CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black): Used in printing for subtractive color mixing.
      Each component ranges from 0–100%.
      Example: cmyk(0%, 100%, 100%, 0%) equals red.
