Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a document written in a markup language.

Although most often used to set the visual style of web pages and user interfaces written in HTML and XHTML, the language can be applied to any XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL, and is applicable to rendering in speech, or on other media.

Along with HTML and JavaScript, CSS is a cornerstone technology used by most websites to create visually engaging webpages, user interfaces for web applications, and user interfaces for many mobile applications.

Web colors are colors used in displaying web pages, and the methods for describing and specifying those colors.

Colors may be specified as an RGB triplet or in hexadecimal format (a hex triplet) or according to their common English names in some cases.

A color tool or other graphics software is often used to generate color values.

In some uses, hexadecimal color codes are specified with notation using a leading number sign (#).

A color is specified according to the intensity of its red, green and blue components, each represented by eight bits.

Thus, there are 24 bits used to specify a web color, and 16,777,216 colors that may be so specified.

The CMYK color model (process color, four color) is a subtractive color model, used in color printing, and is also used to describe the printing process itself.

CMYK refers to the four inks used in some color printing: cyan, magenta, yellow and key (black).

Though it varies by print house, press operator, press manufacturer, and press run, ink is typically applied in the order of the abbreviation.

The RGB color model is an additive color model in which red, green and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors.

The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colors, red, green and blue.

HSL and HSV are the two most common cylindrical-coordinate representations of points in an RGB color model.

The two representations rearrange the geometry of RGB in an attempt to be more intuitive and perceptually relevant than the cartesian (cube) representation.

Developed in the 1970s for computer graphics applications, HSL and HSV are used today in color pickers, in image editing software, and less commonly in image analysis and computer vision.
