Color Converter

Color

Convert colors between HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSV formats

Paste a HEX color from a design file and see its RGB, HSL, and HSV equivalents all at once, or adjust the HSL lightness value to get a lighter or darker variant and copy the resulting HEX straight into CSS. A common use is verifying a designer's HSL spec actually matches the HEX value already hardcoded in a stylesheet, which is easy to get subtly wrong by hand. It's worth knowing that HSV's "value" and HSL's "lightness" are related but different formulas: value is brightness relative to the color's maximum channel, lightness is the midpoint between the lightest and darkest channel, so the same color can report different-looking numbers depending on which model you're reading. This tool covers opaque colors; for alpha-inclusive formats like RGBA and HSLA, the Color Picker tool is the one that supports transparency. All conversion runs locally.

Frequently asked questions

Which formats are supported?
HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSV are all supported with live two-way conversion between them.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No, color math runs entirely in your browser.
Why do HSV and HSL give different "lightness"/"value" numbers for the same color?
HSV's "value" represents brightness relative to the color's maximum channel, while HSL's "lightness" is the midpoint between the lightest and darkest channel — they're related but not interchangeable formulas.
Does it support alpha/transparency?
The core conversions are opaque colors; for alpha-inclusive formats like RGBA and HSLA, use the Color Picker tool, which supports transparency.
