🎨 Color formats
- HEX (
#0F766E) — 6-digit hexadecimal, best for CSS. - RGB (
rgb(15, 118, 110)) — red/green/blue 0–255, easiest to tweak numerically. - HSL (
hsl(175, 77%, 26%)) — hue/saturation/lightness, most intuitive for designers.
How This Tool Works
A color converter translates colors between different notation systems used in web development, graphic design, and digital media. It converts between HEX (the 6-digit codes used in HTML/CSS), RGB (Red, Green, Blue values 0–255), and HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness). Each format has its strengths: HEX is compact for code, RGB maps to how screens physically display color, and HSL is the most intuitive for adjusting colors by human perception. The converter also shows a live preview so you can see exactly what color you are working with.
💡 Tips & Best Practices
- 1HSL is the most intuitive format for color adjustments — change hue to shift the color, saturation for vibrancy, lightness for brightness.
- 2For accessible design, ensure a minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1 (text) or 3:1 (large text) between foreground and background colors.
- 3Hex shorthand: #RGB expands to #RRGGBB (e.g., #F00 = #FF0000, which is pure red).
- 4Use HSL to create color palettes: keep hue constant and vary saturation/lightness for harmonious shades.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HEX, RGB, and HSL?
HEX is a compact 6-digit hexadecimal notation (#FF5733). RGB specifies Red, Green, Blue intensities (0–255 each). HSL describes Hue (0–360°), Saturation (0–100%), and Lightness (0–100%). They all describe the same colors, just in different ways.
Which color format should I use for web development?
HEX is the most common in CSS. RGB/RGBA is useful when you need transparency (the A = alpha channel). HSL/HSLA is best when you need to programmatically adjust colors or create consistent palettes. Modern CSS supports all three formats.
