Different color models serve specific purposes. RGB (Red, Green, Blue) and HEX are standards for digital displays, defining colors by mixing light. For print, CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is used, which works by subtracting brightness from a white background. Other models like HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) offer a more intuitive way to modify colors, making it easier to create tints and shades.
