About the Color Picker
Web design lives and dies by color values — but jumping between HEX (#3B82F6), RGB (59, 130, 246), and HSL (217, 91%, 60%) formats is tedious when you are matching a brand palette or tweaking a Tailwind config.
A color picker lets you choose a color visually with a hue slider and saturation panel, then instantly see the equivalent values in every format developers and designers actually use. Copy the one you need and paste it into CSS, Figma, a design token file, or an email template.
This tool updates all formats in real time as you drag the picker or type a value manually. Invalid inputs are caught before they pollute your stylesheet. Everything runs locally — no color data is sent anywhere.
How to Pick and Convert Colors
- Click or drag on the color picker panel to choose a hue and saturation, or type a known HEX value in the input field.
- Watch the HEX, RGB, and HSL values update live as you adjust the color.
- Click any value row to copy it to your clipboard — ready to paste into CSS, SCSS, or a design tool.
- Use the preview swatch to compare the color against white and dark backgrounds before committing.
Common Questions
Answers to what people usually ask about color picker
What is the difference between HEX and RGB?+
They represent the same color in different notation. HEX uses six hexadecimal digits (#RRGGBB). RGB uses three decimal values for red, green, and blue channels (0–255 each). CSS accepts both.
When should I use HSL instead of RGB?+
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) is easier to reason about when creating color variations. Want a lighter shade? Increase lightness. Want a muted version? Drop saturation. Designers often prefer HSL for palette building.
Does this support alpha transparency?+
Check whether the tool shows RGBA or HEX8 values with an alpha channel. Standard HEX6 codes do not include transparency — you need HEX8 (#RRGGBBAA) or RGBA for that.
