> I came across [this usage data](https://almanac.httparchive.org/en/2022/css#colors) a few days ago (referenced in this [guide](https://developer.chrome.com/articles/high-definition-css-color-guide/)). I know (I was a reviewer that year) and it was similar in earlier years. > I was surprised to see `rgba()` and `hsla()` more often used than `rgb()` and `hsl()`. People needed a reason to use something other than the six-digit hex they had used since forever. The explicit-alpha functional forms `rgba()` and `hsla()` were the first thing that gave them something they could not do otherwise (eight-digit hex was made available in browsers a lot later). HSL gets used a lot for content creation, but often in sass or some other postprocessor to manipulate the HSL values then spit out the result in hex or whatever. -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7900#issuecomment-1421386560 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
