What is Color Converter?

Colors on the web are represented in several formats. HEX uses a # followed by 6 hexadecimal digits (#3b82f6). RGB specifies red, green, and blue channels as numbers from 0 to 255 — rgb(59, 130, 246). HSL describes color as hue (0-360°), saturation (0-100%), and lightness (0-100%) — hsl(217, 91%, 60%).

All three formats can represent the same colors — they're just different ways of describing the same value. HEX is the most common in CSS, RGB is intuitive for programmatic manipulation, and HSL is the most human-friendly for picking and adjusting colors.

This tool converts between all three formats in real time, shows a visual preview, and provides CSS-ready code snippets you can copy directly into your stylesheets.

FAQ

What HEX formats are supported?
Both 6-digit (#3b82f6) and 3-digit shorthand (#38f) formats are supported, with or without the # prefix.
What is the advantage of HSL over RGB?
HSL is more intuitive for humans. To make a color lighter, increase L. To desaturate, decrease S. To shift the hue, change H. With RGB, achieving these effects requires adjusting all three channels simultaneously.
Does this support alpha/transparency?
The current version converts between opaque colors. RGBA and HSLA with alpha channel support may be added in a future update.
