Pick colors and convert between Hex, RGB, HSL, HSV, and CMYK formats.
About Color Picker & Converter
Convert between HEX, RGB, and HSL color formats instantly. This tool is essential for designers and developers to translate colors across different platforms, CSS styling, and design software while providing a visual preview of each color.
How to Use
- Enter your color code in any of the input fields (HEX, RGB, or HSL).
- The other formats will update automatically to match your input.
- Use the visual preview box to confirm the color matches your expectations.
- Copy the resulting code in the format you need for your project.
Common Use Cases
- Translating design hex codes into RGB values for mobile app development.
- Adjusting HSL values for consistent color themes and shade variations.
- Verifying color accuracy across different color systems used in web and print.
Technical Details
Uses mathematical formulas to convert between color coordinate systems. Formulas handle edge cases like grayscale and extreme lightness/saturation accurately.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is HEX vs RGB?
- HEX is a hexadecimal representation of color commonly used in CSS, while RGB represents the intensity of Red, Green, and Blue light.
- Why use HSL?
- HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is often more intuitive for designers to adjust brightness and saturation levels manually.
- Can I convert HSV colors too?
- Yes. The tool supports HEX, RGB, HSL, and HSV formats. Enter a value in any field and all other formats update instantly.
- Does this tool work offline?
- Once the page loads, all conversions run entirely in your browser with no network requests, so it works fully offline.
- How accurate are the converted values?
- Conversions use standard mathematical formulas and are accurate to the precision CSS and most design tools require. Edge cases like pure black, white, and gray are handled correctly.
- Does the Color Converter support CMYK values for print design?
- Yes. The Color Converter converts between HEX, RGB, HSL, HSV, and CMYK. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Key/Black) is the color model used in printing, and the conversion from RGB to CMYK is done mathematically in the browser. Note that the conversion is an approximation — precise print color matching requires a calibrated ICC color profile provided by your printer or press. Use CMYK values here as a starting point and verify with your printer before finalizing print materials.
Local processing
Our local file, text and chart tools process content on your device using JavaScript, browser APIs and, where needed, WebAssembly. Our usage events do not include filenames, file contents, input text, chart values, raw errors, emails or license references. Network lookup tools (such as DNS, WHOIS, IP and speed tests) contact external services for their stated purpose. Loading the website, fonts, libraries and models also makes network requests. WebAssembly itself does not prevent network access.
