Color

Pick and convert between HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV

Pick a color visually or paste a HEX/RGB/HSL value and see it converted to every other format at once, with RGBA/HSLA alpha support included for when transparency matters. HSL is worth reaching for specifically when you need to programmatically adjust lightness or saturation while holding hue steady, since it separates those dimensions in a way RGB doesn't, arguably more intuitive for that kind of adjustment than RGB, though neither is objectively better overall. A common practical use is double-checking that a design tool's color export actually matches what's hardcoded in a stylesheet or design token file. This tool converts a single color; if the goal is generating a whole palette or a tint/shade scale from one base color, the dedicated Palette Generator and Color Shades tools cover that instead.

How to use Color Picker

  • 1.Pick a color visually or paste a HEX/RGB/HSL value to see it instantly converted to every other format.
  • 2.Copy the HSL representation when you need to programmatically adjust lightness or saturation while keeping the same hue.
  • 3.Use it to double-check a design tool's color export matches what you're hardcoding in CSS or a design token file.

Frequently asked questions

What color formats are supported?
HEX, RGB, RGBA, HSL, and HSV/HSB are all supported, with live two-way conversion between them.
Does it support alpha/transparency?
Yes, RGBA and HSLA (with an alpha channel) are supported for colors that need transparency.
Can I generate a full palette from one color?
Yes — see the dedicated Palette Generator and Color Shades tools for generating harmonious palettes or tint/shade scales from a single base color.
Is HSL or RGB better for CSS?
Neither is objectively better, but HSL is often easier for humans to reason about since lightness and saturation are separated from hue, making programmatic color adjustments more intuitive.
