A color converter translates a color value between the formats used in design and code — HEX (like #3B82F6), RGB (like rgb(59, 130, 246)), and HSL (like hsl(217, 91%, 60%)) — so you can use the same color consistently across CSS, design tools, and code.
How to Use This Tool
- Enter a color value in HEX, RGB, or HSL format, or use the color picker.
- The tool instantly converts it and shows the equivalent value in the other two formats.
- Preview the color swatch to confirm it's the shade you want.
- Copy whichever format you need for your CSS, design file, or code.
Why Use This Tool?
This converter updates all three formats live as you type or pick a color, with an instant visual preview, so you can confirm the exact shade before copying the value into your project — all without installing a design app.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What color formats does this tool convert between?
It converts between HEX, RGB, and HSL — the three most common color formats used in web design and CSS.
2. What's the difference between RGB and HSL?
RGB defines a color by its red, green, and blue light components, while HSL defines it by hue, saturation, and lightness, which is often more intuitive for adjusting a color's shade or brightness.
3. How do I convert a HEX code to RGB?
Paste the HEX code (e.g. #3B82F6) into the input, and the RGB equivalent appears instantly alongside it.
4. Can I pick a color visually instead of typing a code?
Yes, use the built-in color picker to select a color visually, and its HEX, RGB, and HSL values will all be generated automatically.
5. Is this color converter accurate?
Yes, it uses standard color-space conversion formulas, so the values match what you'd get in design tools like Figma or Photoshop.
6. Is this tool free to use?
Yes, it's completely free with no limits on how many conversions you can do.
7. Does this tool work for CSS colors?
Yes, all three output formats (HEX, RGB, HSL) are valid CSS color values you can paste directly into a stylesheet.
8. Does it support transparency or alpha values?
The core conversion covers standard HEX, RGB, and HSL; for alpha transparency, append the alpha value to the RGB or HSL output manually (e.g. rgba, hsla).
