## When to Use
- User provides two or more colors and asks if they work together
- User shares CSS, HTML, Tailwind, or any code with color definitions
- User shares a screenshot or image of a UI and asks about readability

| Hex (8-digit) | `#3a7bd5cc` | Strip alpha, warn about transparency |
| RGB | `rgb(58, 123, 213)` | Convert to hex |
| RGBA | `rgba(58, 123, 213, 0.8)` | Strip alpha, warn about transparency |
| HSL | `hsl(210, 65%, 53%)` | Convert to RGB then hex |
| Named CSS | `coral`, `slategray` | Map via lookup table |
| Tailwind class | `text-blue-500`, `bg-gray-100` | Map to hex via Tailwind palette |
