Color Picker and Converter
Pick colors and convert between HEX, RGB, and HSL.
What does this color picker tool do?
It lets you pick any color visually, type or paste a hex code, and instantly get the matching RGB and HSL values. The live preview swatch shows how the color will look on a real surface, plus the text color flips automatically so you can judge contrast at a glance.
Why do designers need a color converter?
CSS, design tools, brand guidelines, and print specs all use different color formats. HEX is common in CSS, RGB is needed for sliders and rgba transparency, and HSL makes it easy to nudge brightness or saturation. Switching between them by hand is tedious and easy to get wrong.
How do you use this tool?
- Click the color picker to choose a hue visually, or paste any hex value into the text field.
- The RGB and HSL values update instantly.
- Use the copy buttons next to each format to grab the value in one click.
- Click any palette swatch below to try one of the curated brand colors.
When should you use HSL over HEX?
Use HSL when you want to programmatically lighten or darken a base color, or build hover states. Hue, saturation, lightness map closer to how humans think about color, while HEX is just a string of characters with no obvious relationship.
