Color Converter
How to use this color converter
- Type a color value into any of the three fields (HEX, RGB, or HSL).
- The other two formats and the preview swatch update instantly.
- Copy whichever format your CSS, design tool, or code needs.
Why do HEX, RGB and HSL exist for the same color?
HEX and RGB describe a color by its red, green and blue light components — HEX is just RGB written in base-16 shorthand. HSL describes the same color differently, by hue, saturation and lightness, which is often more intuitive for adjusting a color by hand.
Which format should I use in CSS?
All three work in modern CSS. HEX is the most common for fixed brand colors, while HSL is often easier when you need to programmatically lighten or darken a color.
Does this support transparency (alpha)?
Not currently — this tool converts solid colors only. For transparency, add an alpha channel manually (e.g. rgba() or an 8-digit HEX) after converting.
